Now, now, I would not say "supports" his existence. Just shows that people believed in him and told his story, just like J.C. There are numerous.
Gesta Hammaburgensis Ecclesiae Pontificum , Grimnismal, Alvismal and several other poems in the Edda that I couldn't spell without having them in front of me. Rhythm and I recently had a conversation about Norse mythology and I was compelled to read up about it after he told me about a female warrior, Sif I think it was. At any rate, the gods of Norse mythology were written about, like J.C. The same goes for Greek Gods and their buddies the Roman Gods, both of which have similar gods to the Norse gods.
If I'm not mistaken, the Edda predates the Bible.
