Also known as The poetic Edda, Elder Edda, Poetic Edda
"Edda" (; Old Norse Edda, plural Eddur) is an Old Norse term that has been applied by modern scholars to the collective of two Medieval Icelandic literary works: what is now known as the Prose Edda and an older collection of poems (without an original title) now known as the Poetic Edda. The term historically referred only to the Prose Edda, but this usage has fallen out of favour because of confusion with the other work. Both works were recorded in Iceland during the 13th century in Icelandic, although they contain material from earlier traditional sources, reaching back into the Viking Age.

埃达(古諾斯語:单数:Edda,复数:Eddur),是兩本古冰島文學的統稱,內容多與北歐神話有關。兩本埃達分別為《詩體埃達》與《散文埃達》,其中《詩體埃達》年代較早,又被稱作《老埃達》,《散文埃達》又作《新埃達》以及《埃達》。現今的北歐神話揉合了兩本埃達的內容。
