The Poetic Edda is a compilation of myths in a poetic form, using the Codex Regius as a basis. It is usually attributed to Sæmund Sigfússon, a priest and scholar from Iceland. This version was translated by Benjamin Thorpe, in 1866.
*Many of the poems' names have changed over the years. The english translation provided here is fairly old, so it would make sense as to why it would change.

Pantheonfall: The Arbiter's Trials
"The time of gods as masters is ended. Now, I weigh you all." When Zeus demands every mortal kneel and Odin prepares sacrifices for Ragnarök, a rift opens in the Veil Beyond. From it descends Kairon, the Arbiter of Worth - a god beyond gods, stronger than Olympus and Asgard combined, older than any pantheon. His scales shimmer with starlight and shadow, measuring mortals and immortals alike. For the first time, the gods themselves must stand trial. Zeus, Odin, and every ruler of myth will be tested - not by war, not by pride, but by judgment. Fail, and even immortality will not save them. Pass, and survival may be earned. But the consequences of their choices will ripple across realms, shaping not only the fate of the gods but the destiny of mankind. From Olympus to Asgard, from the devas of India to the dragons of China and the mists of Celtic Tir na nÓg, every mythology watches with bated breath, knowing their turn may come. None can escape the Arbiter's scales. This is not just a retelling of mythology. This is their reckoning. Pantheonfall is an epic, interactive saga where YOU help decide the outcome of divine trials. Will Zeus unleash his pride and risk Olympus, or humble himself before judgment? Will Odin face the storm of truth or cling to Ragnarök's prophecy? Each choice leads to consequences that transcend gods' attributes and reshape human fate. The gods have ruled long enough. Now, it is time to weigh them. Will you judge with mercy... or fire?
Sigyn's Revenge
A thousand years ago Loki was chained up in a cave as punishment for the murder of Baldur. For a thousand years, Sigyn has stood by her husband, holding a bowl over his head to catch the venom dripping down from the snake above his head - but now she has had her fill. Change is coming to Asgard as Sigyn sets out to get revenge on Odin for killing her sons and chaining up her husband. With only Loki's children and the newlywed humans Max and Ian, Sigyn sets off to do what no one has ever done before: Bring Odin to his knees and make him admit his own guilt. Sigyn's Revenge is a story about justice, standing up for yourself and what you believe in, about love that is worth fighting for, even if everyone else thinks you are insane for it, and about family and the strength that it gives you. Go on the journey of a lifetime, through Midgard, Helheim, and Asgard, and feel the love between the loyal Sigyn and the unaccountable trickster god Loki.Complete
