How did Beowulf kill Grendel?

Answer 1

Answer 2

Beowulf was without doubt the greatest poem in Old English literature. The poem was written in the heroic style and it seemed to be like an elegy to the hero's feat.

You may have wondered why I had put a work from English literature in the Norse mythology. There are several reasons.

Old English language is actually the language of the Anglo-Saxon people. According to history, Angles and Saxons were Germanic tribes, who migrated to the British Isles in 5th and 6th century AD. Old English denoted the period where the language was written and spoken, between the time when the Angles and Saxons had settled in much of England to the time of when William of Normandy had fought the Battle of Hastings, in 1066.

The other reason why I had retold the Beowulf is that the whole scenes had taken place in Scandinavia – Denmark and Geatland. Beowulf was also a hero from the Geats, a tribe living in southern Sweden.

The poems also mentioned several known characters in the German and Norse legends, such as the hero Sigemund (Siegmund or Sigmund), and the divine smith Weland (Wayland in Middle English, Welund in German or Volund in Old Norse).

Answer 3
