What are the best books - or rather translations - on Norse Myths? I only know of the Poetic and Prose Eddas but not sure which translation I should go with and which other books to read. I want to prove basement dwellers who think that Thor should be fat wrong.
Is there some Norse equivalent to the image of the same excerpt from the Iliad being translated by different authors available anywhere so I can see which translation works best for me?
Also, this is potentially a good way of asking for recommendations on books on other World Mythologies, like Mayan, Shinto, Egyptian and whatnot
