Norse creation mythology, primarily found in texts like the "Prose Edda," was written in the 13th century by the Icelandic scholar Snorri Sturluson. The "Poetic Edda," another key source, consists of older poems that were likely composed between the 9th and 12th centuries. Together, these texts preserve the Norse creation stories and other myths from a pre-Christian oral tradition.
