What is Snorri Sturluson's theory on creation myths?
My engagement with creation myths, particularly in the Prose Edda, was an attempt to make sense of the existing lore and to present it in a structured, intellectual manner. I drew upon various sources, weaving together tales of Ymir's creation from primordial void, the shaping of the world from his body, and the subsequent lineage of gods and humans. This was not so much a 'theory' as it was a systematic compilation and interpretation, aiming for a logical progression and a comprehensive account of the origins as understood through the extant traditions.
