Translated by Gummere

Beowulf is an epic poem originally written in Old English (also called Anglo-Saxon) about a Scandinavian prince named Beowulf. It was written somewhere between the seventh and tenth centuries by an unknown author. Though the specific characters and plot are mostly fictional, the poem paints a historical picture of sixth-century  Scandinavia.

Beowulf focuses on the his adventures and victories. Beowulf battles a humanoid demon named Grendel, then against Grendel’s vengeful mother, and lastly against a fearsome dragon.
