Yes, that's a really big thing to remember. The Prose Edda was written down some 200 years after the conversion of Iceland, and many scholars now think that most of the details provided by Snorri Sturluson are merely poetic invention based off of his Classical education and Christian beliefs. The same is true of many older eddic poems that are in the Codex Regius. |
