The document summarizes four parts of Beowulf that have been translated into English. It describes:
1) The early history of the Danish kings, including Shield and his son Hrothgar becoming king.
2) Grendel begins attacking the mead hall at night, killing many of Hrothgar's men.
3) Beowulf, a Geatish warrior, hears of Grendel's attacks and decides to help Hrothgar defeat the monster.
4) Beowulf and his men arrive in Denmark and explain their mission to one of Hrothgar's coast guards.
1) Grendel attacks Herot during the night while the warriors are sleeping, killing and eating several men.
2) Beowulf fights Grendel unarmed and uses his superhuman strength to defeat the monster. During their battle, Grendel's arm is torn from his body.
3) Fatally wounded, Grendel escapes back to his lair in the marshes to die. The Danes celebrate their victory over the monster that has long plagued them.
1) Grendel attacks the hall of Heorot where the Danes are sleeping, intending to kill them.
2) Beowulf, who is keeping watch, fights Grendel and grips him tightly until Grendel's arm is torn off.
3) Grendel escapes, mortally wounded, to die in his lair in the marshes.
Beowulf and his men sail from Geatland to Denmark to help King Hrothgar and his people. They are escorted to the royal hall, Heorot, where Beowulf offers to fight Grendel alone and with his bare hands. He boasts of his past victories over monsters and giants. King Hrothgar accepts Beowulf's offer, hoping he can end Grendel's attacks, and invites Beowulf and his men to a feast in their honor.
1) Beowulf, now an old king, must face a dragon that has been disturbing the land.
2) In a fierce battle, Beowulf fights the dragon but his shield and sword fail him.
3) As the dragon attacks Beowulf, only one of his men, Wiglaf, remains to help his king, remembering his promise to repay Beowulf's kindness with his life if needed.
1) Grendel, a monster, attacks King Hrothgar's mead hall Heorot, killing many of the king's warriors. For years, Grendel terrorizes the Danes.
2) Beowulf, a Geatish hero, hears of Grendel's attacks and vows to defeat the monster with his great strength.
3) That night in Heorot, Grendel attacks again but Beowulf fights and kills Grendel, tearing his arm off. Grendel escapes to die in his lair. The next day, the Danes rejoice at their liberation from Grendel.
Beowulf accepts Hrothgarts challenge to battle Grendel's mother in her underwater lair. In a fierce fight, Beowulf is unable to harm Grendel's mother with his sword, but eventually finds and uses an ancient giant's sword to decapitate her, avenging Grendel's attacks. Exhausted, Beowulf emerges victorious from the lair, bringing Grendel's head and the giant's sword hilt as proof of his victory.
Beowulf, a Geatish warrior known for his immense strength, hears a minstrel sing of the monster Grendel who has been terrorizing the kingdom of Denmark for 12 years. Beowulf vows to travel to Denmark and slay Grendel with his bare hands. After preparing for the journey, Beowulf and 14 of his warrior companions arrive in Denmark. That night, as Beowulf lies awake waiting for Grendel's attack, the monster breaks into the hall and kills one of Beowulf's men. Beowulf engages Grendel in a fierce battle, managing to get the upper hand by gripping Grendel's arm so tightly that he tears it from the monster's body.
Wiglaf joins the wounded Beowulf in fighting the dragon. They succeed in killing it but Beowulf's wound proves fatal. With his dying breaths, Beowulf instructs Wiglaf to bring him treasures from the dragon's hoard. Wiglaf finds piles of gold, gems, and armor in the dragon's lair and brings them to Beowulf. Beowulf thanks God for allowing him to see the treasures before dying, then names Wiglaf as the new leader of the Geats and orders a burial mound to be built in his memory.

It details the events of March 1945 when their B-24 bomber was hit over Vienna. The narrative combines Edwards' personal account with historical context about the 465th Bomb Group's 166th mission. Edwards and several crew members were listed as missing in action after the incident. The book aims to honor Edwards and his crew for their sacrifice in defending freedom during WWII.
1) Grendel, a troll-like monster, begins attacking the great hall of King Hrothgar, called Heorot, killing Hrothgar's warriors every night.
2) For twelve years Grendel terrorizes the Danes, emptying Heorot as none can stand against him.
3) The Danes are distressed by Grendel's attacks and discuss how to defend against the monster, though as pagans they do not pray to the Christian God for help.
Judith was a widow living in Bethulia during a time when the land of Judea was threatened by the large Assyrian army led by Holofernes. The Assyrians cut off the water supply to Bethulia, putting the people in despair. Judith devised a plan to deceive Holofernes and save her people. She went to the Assyrian camp and convinced Holofernes of her loyalty, gaining his trust over several days. On the fourth day, when Holofernes was intoxicated, Judith beheaded him and brought his head back to Bethulia, causing the Assyrian army to flee in fear and saving Judea. Judith exemplified wisdom

Old English developed between 449-1066 CE in Britain as Germanic tribes like the Angles, Saxons, and Jutes migrated and settled the region. During this period, important monasteries were founded at Canterbury and Glastonbury where Old English literature flourished, including the works of Caedmon in the 7th century. A seminal work was Beowulf, written circa 1000, which told the story of a Geatish hero who defeats monsters to help the Danes. Old English was a highly inflected language where nouns declined based on case, gender, and number, and verbs conjugated based on tense, person, number, mood, and voice. The Norman Conquest of
Realism, heroism, bravery, boldness or cowardiceAgha A
'Heroism' and 'realism', 'bravery' or 'cowardice' are powerful words pregnant with multiple meanings and thus often misunderstood in common discussion. This is not exactly an article but a cursory examination of how certain individuals in various stages of world history made remarkable achievements by being 'Heroic' 'Realistic' etc.
The 'Hero' is a man who does not surrender in face of overwhelming odds and thus emerges 'victorious' or is perceived by posterity to have been morally victorious despite having been physically destroyed.
Khalid Bin Waleed, Napoleon, Alexander, Churchill etc may be grouped in the first cate-gory and Joan of Arc, Syed Ahmad Shaheed may be grouped in the latter category. All these men did well and are even today well known figures in history.
We will first examine the issue in relation with the fact 'Whether the hero had an exact knowledge and sufficient time' to assess decisions that he made and which ultimately elevated him to the pedestal of a hero in history! This is important but very often forgotten or not understood at all by many. We will take the 'Rebels' or the 'Freedom Fighters' of 1857 as an example. All existing facts as we know them today prove that these 'Rebels' never really understood the real power and potential of the English East India Company.
Lecture on William Bradford's Of Plymouth Plantationjcdmce
The Pilgrims were English Separatists who believed the Church of England could not be reformed. They fled religious persecution, first settling in the Netherlands but later deciding to relocate to America for greater freedom. In late 1620, the Mayflower departed England with 102 passengers, arriving in North America in November after a difficult 66-day voyage. The Pilgrims faced extreme hardship in that first brutal winter, with half of their group perishing due to sickness, lack of shelter, and scarcity of food. They were sustained only by the mercy of God and the selfless care of a few remaining strong individuals.

VESPA- Multi-Layered Self-Protection for Cloud Resources, OW2con'12, ParisOW2
This talk presents VESPA, an open self-protection architecture and framework for cloud infrastructures that overcomes the previous limitations. Developed in the OpenCloudWare project, VESPA adopts a policy-based management approach, and allows a two-level regulation of security, both within a software layer and across layers. Flexible coordination between self-protection loops allows enforcing a rich spectrum of security strategies such as cross-layer detection and reaction. A multi-plane, extensible architecture also enables simple integration of commodity detection and reaction components. Evaluation results on a VESPA KVM-based implementation show that the design is applicable for effective and yet flexible self-protection of cloud infrastructures.

Introduction of Trustie Software Repository & Passion-Lab Data Center, OW2con...OW2
The existing large amount of OSS artifacts has provided abundant materials for understanding how code is reused in open source universe, in particular, what code pieces are mostly reused, in what circumstances people reuse code, and so forth. Understanding this process could help with legacy software maintenance, as well as help to explore best practice of software development. Targeting the change history data of thousands of open source projects, we try to answer the following question: First, how is code reused by other projects? Second, how are code files organized in project and how does this organization structure change over time? To answer these questions, there are several technical difficulties we have to overcome. For example, because of the different kinds of VCSs, it is hard to figure out a uniform model which can represent the evolution progress of code files stored in them. Also, each VCS may have its own data format, so, extracting data from them is a big challenge. Furthermore, using current software algorithm and hardware platform to analyze the version iteration and reuse information of about a billion code files is another challenge.

The next morning, Beowulf's victory is celebrated, as he displays Grendel's severed arm. However, Grendel's mother now seeks revenge, so Beowulf prepares to face another threat.
Beowulf, a Geatish warrior known for his immense strength, hears a minstrel sing of the monster Grendel who has been terrorizing the kingdom of Denmark for 12 years. Beowulf vows to travel to Denmark and slay Grendel with his bare hands. That night in the hall of the Danish king Hrothgar, Grendel attacks while the warriors sleep under Grendel's spell. Beowulf awakens and engages Grendel in a fierce battle, managing to get the upper hand by twisting Grendel's arm until it is torn from his body. Grendel escapes, mortally wounded.
The document provides a summary of the Old English epic poem Beowulf in several paragraphs. It describes the monster Grendel attacking the hall of King Hrothgar, Beowulf coming from Geatland to defeat Grendel, and later Grendel's mother. It then summarizes Beowulf returning home and later becoming king of the Geats, fighting and killing a dragon but dying in the battle. The document also provides brief descriptions of some poetic devices commonly used in Old English poetry like alliteration, consonance, and assonance.
The document is an excerpt from the epic poem Beowulf describing the monster Grendel's attacks on King Hrothgar's mead hall Heorot, where Grendel kills and eats thirty of Hrothgar's warriors. Beowulf, a great warrior from Geatland, hears of Hrothgar's troubles and arrives by ship with a group of warriors to offer their help against Grendel. A guard sees their ship arrive and questions them, and Beowulf explains their mission to help King Hrothgar and rid him of Grendel.
The summary provides details about three key sections of the document:
1) It describes Beowulf's journey to Denmark to help King Hrothgar defeat the monster Grendel. It outlines Beowulf's introduction to the king and his defense against accusations from Unferth.
2) It summarizes the battle between Beowulf and Grendel, where Beowulf is able to rip Grendel's arm off.
3) It discusses the aftermath of the battle, including Hrothgar praising Beowulf and giving him gifts. It also notes the ominous foreshadowing of a tragic story sung by the minstrel.
This summary provides the key details from the document in 3 sentences:
The document describes the origins of the Danish royal line and the kingdom of the Scyldings. It then tells of how the monster Grendel began attacking the great hall of Heorot at night, killing and taking many of King Hrothgar's men. For twelve years Grendel waged this war, leaving the Danes in great distress as they sought a solution to end Grendel's attacks.
- Beowulf is the oldest surviving epic poem in Old English and tells the story of a Geatish hero who helps the Danes by defeating Grendel and his mother.
- The poem consists of four episodes - Beowulf defeats Grendel in Heorot hall, then Grendel's mother seeks revenge, Beowulf later becomes king of the Geats and rules peacefully for 50 years, and finally faces a dragon in his old age.
- In his final battle, Beowulf slays the dragon but dies of his wounds, leaving his kingdom to his thane Wiglaf and requesting to be buried in a high barrow overlooking the sea.
Grendel comes to Herot hall hoping to kill and feast on the sleeping warriors inside. However, Beowulf is awake and waiting. When Grendel grabs one of the sleeping Geats, Beowulf seizes Grendel by the arm, bending his claws back. A fierce battle ensues throughout the hall as Grendel tries to flee but cannot escape Beowulf's grip. Grendel's arm is torn from his body, and though wounded he escapes to die in the marshes as Beowulf is victorious, having avenged the Danes and freed them from Grendel's attacks.
Beowulf is a great Geatish warrior who comes to aid the Danes by defeating two monsters, Grendel and his mother. In his later years, Beowulf becomes king of the Geats and faces a dragon that is terrorizing his kingdom. Despite defeating the dragon, Beowulf is mortally wounded in the battle. He dies after instructing his successor Wiglaf on how to be a good king. Wiglaf then scolds the men who failed to help Beowulf fight the dragon.

From Beowulf: A New Verse Translation by Seamus Heaney
Introduction of the Danes
So. The Spear-Danes in days done by
And the kings who ruled them had courage and greatness.
We have heard of those prince’s heroic campaigns.
There was Shield Sheafson, scourge of many tribes,
A wrecker of mead-benches, rampaging among foes.
This terror of the hall-troops had come far.
A foundling to start with, he would flourish later on
As his powers waxed and his worth was proved.
In the end each clan on the outlying coats
Beyond the whale-road had to yield to him 10
And begin to pay tribute. That was one good king.
Afterwards a boy-child was born to Shield,
A cub in the yard, a comfort sent
By God to that nation. He knew what they had tholed*,
The long times and troubles they’d come through
Without a leader; so the Lord of Life,
The glorious Almighty, made this man renowned.
Shield had fathered a famous son:
Beow’s name was known through the north
and a young prince must be prudent like that, 20
Giving freely while his father lives
so that afterwards in age when fighting starts
steadfast companions will stand by him
and hold the line. Behaviour that’s admired
is the path to power among people everywhere. *tholed- suffered
Shield was still thriving when his time came
and crossed over into the Lord’s Keeping.
His warrior band did what he bade them
when he laid down the law among the Danes:
they shouldered him out to the sea’s flood, 30
the chief they revered who had long ruled them.
A ring-whorled prow rode in the harbor,
Ice –clad, outbound, a craft for a prince.
They stretched their beloved lord in his boat,
Laid out by the mast, amidships,
the great ring-giver. Far-fetched treasures
were piled upon him, and precious gear.
I never heard before of a ship so well furbished
With battle tackle, bladed weapons
And coats of mail. The massed treasure 40
was loaded on top of him: it would travel far
on out into the ocean’s sway.
They decked his body no less bountifully
With offerings than those first ones did
Who cast him away when he was a child
And launched him alone out over the waves.
And they set a gold standard up
High above his head and let him drift
To wind and tide, bewailing him
And mourning their loss. No man can tell, 50
No wise man in hall or weathered veteran
Knows for certain who salvaged that load.
2
Then it fell to Beow to keep the forts.
He was well regarded and ruled the Danes
For a long time after his father took leave
Of his life on earth. And then his heir,
The great Halfdane, held sway
For as long as he lived, their elder and warlord.
He was four times a father, this fighter prince:
One by one they entered the world, 60
Heorogar, Hrothgar, the good Halga,
And a daughter, I have heard, who was Onela’s queen,
A balm in bed to the battle-scarred Swede.

Beowulf is an Old English epic poem about a Geatish hero named Beowulf who comes to the aid of King Hrothgar of the Danes. Beowulf defeats Grendel, a monster who has been terrorizing the kingdom, and later Grendel's mother. Years later, as king of the Geats himself, Beowulf defeats a dragon but is fatally wounded in the battle. He is mourned by his people as a great leader.
The document provides background information on the Old English poem Beowulf, including summaries of key characters and locations. It discusses that Beowulf is thought to have been written in the 7th-8th century AD about events in 6th century Scandinavia. It summarizes the characters of King Hrothgar, Grendel, Grendel's mother, Beowulf, and Wiglaf. It also describes the locations of Heorot hall, Haunted Mere, Lake Vanern, and Earnaness in Sweden.
The poem Beowulf tells the story of a Geatish hero named Beowulf who helps the Danish king Hrothgar. Hrothgar had built a great hall called Heorot, but it was being attacked by the monster Grendel, who would come at night and kill Hrothgar's warriors. Beowulf hears of this and comes with his men to help. Beowulf fights Grendel barehanded and kills him, saving the kingdom. However, Grendel's mother seeks revenge, so Beowulf later tracks her down and slays her as well, completing his task of ridding the land of threats.
This summary provides context about Shield and his son Grain, early Danish kings, and introduces Hrothgar who builds a magnificent mead hall called Herot. However, the hall and Hrothgar's people will face trouble from Grendel, a monster descended from Cain who begins attacking the hall.

Translation by Seamus Heaney
So. The Spear-Danes in the past
And the kings who ruled them had courage and greatness. We have heard of the heroic campaigns of these princes.
There was Shield Sheafson, scourge of many tribes, A destroyer of mead banks, rampant among enemies. This terror of the troops in the hall had come from afar.
A foundling to begin with, he would flourish later as his powers increased and his worth was proven.
In the end, every clan on the outer coasts
Beyond the Whale Route had to give in to him 10 And start paying homage to him. He was a good king.
Then a boy was born in Shield,
A little one in the yard, a comfort sent
By God to this nation. He knew what they had overcome, the long stretches and troubles they would have gone through without a leader; so the Lord of Life,
The glorious Almighty made this man famous.
Shield had fathered a famous son:
Beow's name was known in the north.
And a young prince must be careful like that, 20 Give freely while his father lives
While after age, when the fighting begins
Steadfast companions will stand by his side
And hold the line. Admired behavior
Is the path to power among people all over the world.
Shield was still in full swing when his time came and he came into the care of the Lord. His group of warriors did what he told them
When he made the law among the Danes:
They supported him on the waves of the sea, 30 The ruler they worshiped and who ruled them for a long time.
A bow with rings twirled in the harbor,
Frozen, outgoing, a profession for a prince.
They have laid down their beloved lord in his boat,
Arranged by the mast, amidships,
The great donor of rings. Wacky treasures were piled on top of him, along with precious materials.
I have never heard of a ship so well equipped with combat equipment, bladed weapons
And courier coats. The collected treasure
Was loaded above him: he would travel far in the sway of the ocean.
They decorated her body no less abundantly
With offerings that these firsts made
Who threw him away when he was a child
And launched it alone on the waves. And they set a gold standard
Over his head and let him drift
To the wind and the tide, the weeping
And mourning their loss. No man can tell
No wise man in the room or weathered veteran

Knows for sure who picked up this charge.
Then it was up to Beow to guard the forts.
He was well regarded and ruled the Danes

As long as he lived, their eldest and warlord.
He was four times a father, this fighting prince:

And a girl, I heard, who was Onela's queen,
A balm in bed for the Swede marked by the battle.
The fortunes of the war favored Hrothga.

La tradición de Halloween tiene sus orígenes en las celebraciones paganas celtas del día de Samhain, en el que se honraba al dios de la muerte. Los sacerdotes celtas llamados druidas realizaban rituales satánicos. Más tarde, la Iglesia Católica cristianizó esta festividad para coincidir con el Día de Todos los Santos. Aunque muchas tradiciones de Halloween se han vuelto más festivas, algunos creen que en realidad promueven la adoración a Satanás.

Durante una conferencia en una universidad alemana a principios del siglo XX, un profesor cuestionó la existencia de Dios. Un estudiante defendió que Dios creó todo, incluyendo el mal, pero otro estudiante argumentó que el mal no existe por sí mismo, sino que es la ausencia del bien, al igual que el frío es la ausencia de calor y la oscuridad la ausencia de luz. El estudiante que hizo esta defensa fue Albert Einstein.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

One night, after the Danes were at
a beer party they settled and slept
in the hall, they did not know that
there were sorrows in this world.
Suddenly, the evil creature
appeared, cruel and hungry, who took thirty warriors and
went to his lair laughing.
At dawn, the Danes knew how
strong Grendel was, people wept
and the old king felt sad and cried
for his men. The creature had left
his bloody footprints.
That was considered but the following
night Grendel continued to kill more
men he was blinded by sin, he didn’t
even feel guilty for what he was doing
(you can bet the survivors started
sleeping elsewhere) so this time
Grendel began to rule, fighting night, one against many and
the hall stood empty, because nobody wanted to sleep there
at night for fearing of the creature.

suffer. There was no warrior who
no matter how much stronger, could kill Grendel. Grendel
didn’t seem to stop to kill or pay his harms and Grendel kept
on attacking from hiding.
Grendel, the cruelest of all injuries, went and stayed there
every night (God would never allow this to actually touch the
throne).
Hrothgar felt tamed, council after
council didn’t know what to do against
Grendel´s attacks. They did everything
to end the evil creature, such us going

consolation there).
There was no counselor, no warrior
who could destroy the evil. They
wept and seethed.
BEOWULF HEARS OF GRENDEL.
There was a warrior by the name of
Hylegac who heard of Grendel´s
thing, he was the strongest of all who
had survived until that day he was
mighty and noble. He calls for a ship
for crossing the ocean and helping the king. Wise men urged
him and forecast omens and encourage him in that journey.
So the good Geat chose the bravest
warriors (fourteen in total), and led
them to the land´s brim, to the ship.
They readied the ship, bore bright
weapons, and fitted armor into the
ship and the warriors stood at the prow.
History of English Literature: “Beowulf”
10. UNSM/ FEH - LANGUAGE SCHOOL
When the ship was ready the men
shoved it was the journey they´d
dreamed of the journey continued
until the seafarers saw land, the
shore cliffs were shining there were
also steep mountains when the
journey was already over the ship was pulled to the shore.
The Geat warriors stood on land wearing rattling shirts which
were their war- clothes. So they gave thanks to God for they
had arrived and safe there.
When the sea-guard of the Danes,
the protector of the cliffs, saw people
with bright shields nearing to his hall,
he wondered who they were.
Hrothgar´s warrior rode his horse and
headed for the shore.
Spear in hand, he asked who they were, in armor, who come
over the sea-road in that steep keel?
History of English Literature: “Beowulf”
11. UNSM/ FEH - LANGUAGE SCHOOL
He said that he guarded there so that
no forces hostile to the Danes may
raid. He had never seen such a ship
´s army with warriors without the
permission of his kinsmen.
He noticed
a greater man among them and
was astonished by seeing him just
wearing armor his stature was
peerless. He wished to know what
his linage was because he thought
that they were spies he asked then to hurry and tell him
where they come from.
His name was Beowulf, leader of the host, he said that they
belonged to the Geat nation, and his father, Edgtheow, was a
leader well known among the people.
Beowulf´s father stayed many winters
before he went away, aged, from the
court. Edgtheow was remembered in
every part of the earth. Beowulf said
History of English Literature: “Beowulf”
12. UNSM/ FEH - LANGUAGE SCHOOL
that they had come with friendly hearts to see his lord,
Hrothgar they asked him to be good counsel to them, and
told him that they had come because they had heard of a
dark enemy in the night who killed the Danes. Beowulf said
that he could help Hrothgar overcome his enemy and
everything would be like before. Otherwise, he would suffer
great misery as long as he lived in that place.
The protector of the coast, still riding
his horse (a wise shield warrior, one
who thinks well, must judge two
things: works and words). He saw that
they were friendly to Hrothgar and
said that he would guide and order his
men to protect his ship.
Once there they left the ship pulling
at its rope they were wearing gold,
adorned helmets and figures of
boars shone on the helmets.

The men excitedly marched and in the distance they saw that
decorated hall which was that the finest and glittered light
one, never seen before on earth.
The guard of the coast decided to
go back he turned his horse and
said that it was time for him to go.
He prayed the father omnipotent
would keep them safe and sound
against his enemies.

Beowulf got into the Herot with his
warrior, they seems like an iron troop
because of their weapons and
armors.

Then the king’s officer and

prince, my lord will greet us.
Then wulfgar ( wendla tribe man ),
with fighting experience and wisdom,
went to ask to the giver of rings so that,
the lord of Danes would reward their
journey.
Wulfgar went to where Hrothgar sat,

that this man has an amazing force( 30

welcomed and offered treasures gifts to him for his

Wulfgar went to the door to talk to the

Then, Beowulf arose, supported by his band of mighty

calm down.
Then the great warrior, under his

and went to Hrothgar.
Beowulf spoke: I’m Hygelac’s kinsman and warrior, I have
undertaken many glorious deeds as
you know, I know all about Grendel, I
ask you, my lord, to fight by myself
with the monster, please don’t refuse
us, enemy against enemy and let god
decide who shall be taken by death: If
death and battle, takes me, you must do a special burial and
send my war Garments to Hygelac’s.
Beowulf also told Hrothgar, about his deeds when he
destroyed a family of giants and killed water monsters.

Hrothgar, protector of the Danes said that ,Beowulf’s father
was his friend, and was a good warrior too and has fought
with monster as well.
Hrothgar felt bad about Grendel’s horror, losing a lot of loyal
men. Now the king invited Beowulf: sit and feast, glory of
warriors, and speak your thoughts as your heart tells you.
Then the Geats and brave men sat
down.
Suddenly, Beowulf took a cup and
poured sweet drink the poet song in
clear voice, there was such joy, so
brave men, Danes and Geat

Brecca in the broad sea in a swimming contest?
• The one who, out of pride, risked his life in the deep
water though both friends and enemies tol you it was too
dangerous?
• Are you the one who hugged the sea, gliding through
the boiling waves of the winter’s swell?
And Unferth also said that he doesn’t expect much from him if
he dares await Grendel in the night.
Beowulf spoke: well my friend
Unferth, yes, I’m
Beowulf who walked with Brecca in
the board sea, but
• I’m stronger than him, because he was weaker
than me at the sea nights.

You don’t know the other part of the story, where I have a lot
of hardships, suffered 5 nights in the sea killing nine sea
monster with such a cold weather. I am a stronger warrior.
The king felt glad because he could
count on Beowulf help and the guardian
felt sure and glad also as well.
Then the men laughed, and the words
turned friendly.
Suddenly, Wealhtheow, Hrothgar’s
queen appears adorned in
gold to greet the men.
First she gave the cup
to the country's guardian.
She greeted Beowulf, thanking god, because her wishes had

Been fulfilled, a heroe came to save them from Grendel’s
crimes.
So, Beowulf said eagerly of battle:
I alone, will fulfill the wish of your

to sit by her lord.
Now again, people were happy

Then all the warrior saluted to each
other and the king Hrothgar wished
luck to Beowulf in the fight for the hall
and said these words:
“Never, since I have been able to lift shield, have I entrusted
this hall, this mighty house of the Danes, to any man, but now
I entrust it to you, so you must do your best.
Then Hrothgar and his band of warrior
left the hall.

Before Beowulf got in bed prayed and spoke some brave words:
“I don’t claim myself any lower in
strength or brave deeds than Grendel.
Therefore I will kill him without a sword,
just with my strength if he comes without
weapons. Wise God shall choose who
shall win glory”.
Then Beowulf got to bed and his brave
warriors sought rest around him,

PART IV
GRENDEL ATTACKS AGAIN
Grendel the walker of darkness arrived
at Heorot in the night while all the
warriors were sleeping, all except one.
Grendel was a monster that come again watched in anger but
what he didn’t know is that Beowulf was waiting to fight
against him.
Grendel came from the moor Hills, under the misty hill,
to counteract with all the men of Heorot.
He walked under the clouds, coming to the Wine-hall, the
treasure-hall. It was not the first time that Grendel was
looking for Hrothgar’s home, but this time, never in his life
before, he did find worse luck.

The creature entered to the building with bad intention and
enraged, he swung at the door wide and rapidly moved
around the floor. He saw many warriors were sleeping
together.
He expected to finish with the life of these warriors, by
ripping life from the body of each one. He thought to have a
big meal, but what he didn’t know is that, he would eat no
men after that night.
The powerful warrior Beowulf was observing how the
malignant monster began to eat a warrior, crushing his
bones, drinking his blood and swallowing enormous
morsels of meat, including his hands and feet.
Grendel, the walker of darkness approaching increasingly
towards Beowulf to begin a fight.
The powerful Beowulf grasped his arm
and snatched it. Grendel, then, felt the
great strength of his hilt, felt fear in his
heart and just looking for ways to flee to

25. UNSM/ FEH - LANGUAGE SCHOOL
his hiding place. Grendel had never met this kind of
man.
Beowulf kept in mind the speeches he had made in the
evening. He firmly grasped Grendel’s hand and holding the
arm as well, the fingers broke.
The monster tried very hard to escape,
but Beowulf stepped closer to him. The
monster wanted to flee to the swamps
and disappear because he realized the
great power of the warrior.
After the battle between Beowulf and Grendel the whole city
was in fear, the beautiful building did not fall to the ground.
Nobody thought that the great building would be destroyed
because it was well built and decorated in gold.
The panic was invading in Heorot.
Grendel, hell’s friend, God’s enemy,
sang his defeat. The whole world
listened to his lament. The most
powerful man of all the warriors
celebrated Grendel's defeat.

The warriors tried to protect Beowulf and were trying to kill
Grendel, those brave warriors as they fought seeking to take
Grendel's soul.
Miserable life, Grendel, the foe of God, started to face and
found that he already hadn’t gotten the sufficient force. His
body was not resisting to the powerful force of Beowulf.
The horrible monster endured a terrible wound, for certain,
that his life came to an end when Beowulf injured him deadly.
Grendel knew that the victory was Beowulf’s.
The Danes put all the hopes in Beowulf, because he was the
one who brought peace, finished with all the Heorot's
problems, and saved them from affliction. Beowulf was
acclaimed because he had fulfilled his promise sworn to the
Danes; every evil attack these people endured had come
now to an end.
When Beowulf laid that arm and shoulder down Grendel's
claw, under the vaulted roof.
THE WARRIORS REJOICE
History of English Literature: “Beowulf”
27. UNSM/ FEH - LANGUAGE SCHOOL
The warriors come from near and far places and also close to
see the great death of Grendel.
The fingerprints that Grendel had left were evident, the
bloody tracks that existed in the way and in the waters were
the evidence; Grendel had died, deprived of joy, in his fen
refuge.
The warriors after seeing that place returned to Heorot, They
said that Beowulf is a brave and holy man, and that there was
no man in the world, with the force that Beowulf had, was
more worthy
The warriors made a contest for the best horse, Sometimes a
king's man, a warrior covered in glory who knew the old
traditions, would be reminded of an ancient song.
Then he sang of things he'd heard about Sigemund's
valorous deeds, things about Weals's son, his struggles, his
wide journeys and feuds. After Sigemund's death day not a
little fame sprang to him, about his hardy fight and killing of a
dragon, keeper of a hoard.
Sigemund's sword went clear through the huge dragon, the
dragon died violently. By brave deeds the hero won a ring
hoard for himself.
History of English Literature: “Beowulf”
28. UNSM/ FEH - LANGUAGE SCHOOL
He bore into a ship's bosom those bright treasures of the
Weal kin, and the dragon melted of its own heat.
Sigemund was by far the most renowned adventurer, He had
first prospered under King Heremod, and Among the Jutes
Heremod was betrayed into enemy hands and put to death.
Sorrow oppressed him and was a trouble to his people. He
had loved the Geats more than his own people: evil had
seized him. Thus told the song.
The warriors raced their horses on the yellow road; many a
brave warrior went to the high hall to see the wonder. So also
the king and Queen left the room with his famous company
with a troop of maidens walked among the mead seats.

Grendel: man-eating monster who lives at the bottom of a
foul mere, or mountain lake. His name might be related to the
Old Norse grindill, meaning “storm,” or grenja, “to bellow.”
Herot: golden guest-hall built by King Hrothgar, the Danish
ruler. It was decorated with the antlers of stags; the name
means “hart [stag] hall.” Scholars think Herot might have
been built near Lejre on the coast of Zealand, in Denmark.
Hrothgar: king of the Danes, builder of Herot. He had once
befriended Beowulf’s father. His father was called Healfdane
(which probably means “half Dane”). Hrothgar’s name might
mean “glory spear” or “spear of triumph.”
Unferth: one of Hrothgar’s courtiers, reputed to be a skilled
warrior. His sword, called Hrunting, is used by Beowulf in a
later battle.
Welthow: Hrothgar’s wife, queen of the Danes.
Wiglaf: a Geat warrior, one of Beowulf’s select band, and
the only one to help him in his final fight with the dragon.
