The Eddas are two primary sources of Norse mythology and poetry: the Poetic Edda and the Prose Edda. The Poetic Edda is a collection of Old Norse poems from the medieval manuscript Codex Regius, containing mythological and heroic tales. The Prose Edda, written by Snorri Sturluson in the 13th century, serves as a manual for poets and includes stories about gods, creation, and the Norse cosmos. Together, they provide crucial insights into ancient Norse beliefs and culture.
In both stories the big evil giant is defeated and his body is used to make the world.
There is no direct connection between Norse mythology and the story of Adam and Eve from the Bible. Norse mythology comes from Scandinavian cultures, while the story of Adam and Eve is from the Judeo-Christian tradition. Both mythologies explore themes of creation, morality, and the relationship between humans and the divine, but they are distinct and separate belief systems.

Thor is more associated with Norse mythology, which includes both creation myths and explanatory myths. While Thor himself is primarily known for his role as the god of thunder and protector of mankind, Norse mythology as a whole contains elements of creation and explanations for natural phenomena through stories of the gods and their interactions with the world.
