He is not mentioned in the Bible by name. His is a fictional Epic Hero created to teach Christian Ideals (read biblical) to the pagan Britain tribes. There are metaphors and allusions to biblical themes. He suffers from pride and anger and needs to overcome his failings in order to succeed. He is an epic hero and the Arthurian Legends are based upon him and the Bible.

It is not true that Beowulf is mentioned in the Bible.

I would say that he is used to give Christian beliefs to a pagan people. He has certain ways that he is expected to behave and act. Many of the same values (Love, faithfulness, generosity) are valid in both realms. He is similar to biblical heroes such as David and Gideon, people that had failings and that were used by God.

Nope, but you might be interested in the leviathon, which breaths fire and the unicorn mentioned in the book of Job in the Bible.

I've read the bible twice and I've never seen this myth in any of the two testaments. I would tell you no it isn't in the Holy Bible.

No, I don't think it is.
It was in the scribes of a Scandinavian warrior in the 6th century.
