The Poetic Edda by Anonymous
4.0
Carolyne Larrington's translation and explanatory notes are excellent. The quality of the source material varies but is an interesting read regardless.
The "Sayings of the High One" was particularly interesting: some are expected (e.g., reputation, bravery in battle), but others more nuanced and as relevant today as they were 1000+ years ago:
"[W]ith your friend never be
the first to tear fine friendship asunder;
sorrow eats the heart if you don't have someone
to whom to tell all your thoughts."
