the claim

Snorri Sturluson's Prose Edda, written around 1220, presents the Norse gods as human figures remembered as gods, a euhemerist framing.

Is it true that Snorri Sturluson's Prose Edda, written around 1220, presents the Norse gods as human figures remembered as gods, a euhemerist framing?

Yes. A peer-reviewed study of euhemerism in Saxo Grammaticus and Snorri Sturluson states that Snorri's Edda uses euhemerism to explain ancestral pagan religion, and reference sources confirm the Prose Edda was compiled by Snorri around 1220. Other items only partially cover the claim or are unrelated.
