>Snorri makes up a story in the context of Roman literature to claim the Norse were descended from Trojans just like the Romans, justifying Scandinavian place in history, legitimizing the Norwegian kings, and euhemerizing the gods

I always find it kinda crazy, or so I believe, that all of Snorri's work traveled from Iceland to Norway or Denmark or whatever on some 1000 year old little boat back in the day. Could have all been lost. Imagine how much has been lost.

beowulf was found in the basement of some church that burned down in the 1800s. was one of the few things that survived. 
youd be amazed how many books how stories like that. makes you realize we barely have any data from the old times, just scraps and pieces of it
