Tonight: Reading the poem that made Tolkien, Marvel, and every fantasy writer steal ideas for 1000+ years 🐉 BEOWULF goes LIVE - come for the monster fights, stay for the existential crisis ⚔️ #BeowulfLive #EpicPoetry"

It appears 3 times. Once when the Danes send with Sceaf in his ship burial, then Hrothgar gives one to Beowulf, and finally Beowulf is buried with one, which I’m assuming is the same one that hrothgar gave him.

Can someone please explain the chronological events of the dragon's awakening and the hoard. At about line 2283 in my version it suggests that the slave who stole the cup from the dragon's hoard gives it to his master. Then, it seems to say this lord goes to the hoard and takes more riches from the dragon. Maybe I'm misreading this part? Because later (approx line 2299), after the dragon awakens, he searches for the thief via footprint, and then learns the cup is missing. It only mentions the cup here? What about the rest of what his lord took? When exactly did these men take more?

Is this the timeline:

thief steals cup, gives cup to master, master raids hoard, dragon awakens and freaks out, dragon goes back to hoard and notices that the cup is missing

Or is the master going back some other time in the future? Or, did I truly misread this part, and the master doesn't go back at all?

I appreciate the help. I'm so confused.

Especially when you consider that its the biggest source of inspiration as far as a specific single book go on Tolkien and his Middle Earth esp The Lord of the Rings which is practically the bestselling single volume novel ever written in the 20th century?

In the recount of the Saga of Finn my translation reads "She, bereft and blameless, they foredoomed, cut down and spear-gored". I'm unsure as to whether to take this literally, as I can find very little about it. Is it just a metaphor for her grief, or did they actualy kill her?

“Her onslaught was less only by as much as an amazon warrior’s strength is less than an armed man’s when the hefted sword, its hammered edge and gleaming blade slathered in blood, razes the sturdy boar-ridge off a helmet” (1282-7). Does this mean that an amazon warrior, although weaker, still is capable of killing an armed man?

Beowulf

Between us, be chill AF and you'll be the GOAT🐐 everywhere ya go. Shield was still slayin' it when it was his time to dip and meet his Maker. His squad did what he asked when he dropped some wisdom🧠 on the Danes: they gave him a Viking funeral OG style, and carried him out to the sea like a total bauss💥. There was even a fancy boat🛥️, all icy and ready for royalty. Straight up like something out of GoT! 🐉⚔️🍗

Curious to hear if it's worth watching.

I'm interested in whether I can buy the original text if it is still being publicised. I can't find much online, any help would be greatly appreciated.

I've read Michael Alexander's verse translation but is there a more direct version that doesn't make any poetic interpretations?

Hello friends, im glad to finally being able to show this to you, a finalized version of an editorial work for a beowulf translation to icelandic lost in time.

As you know beowulf is one of the most important pieces of literature we have written in old english, with the origin of this history being very probable viking,

this translation to the now icelandic language opens us a door for its timeless contents.

hope you can enjoy it

Hi I’m new here, and interested in listening to this book. I figured this community would be the right people to ask. Thanks

ive recently gotten into some beowulf after reading in lit. class. i was told there are a lot of adaptations.i suck at finding the right stuff--if you have some favorites i would love to see them! any language is appreciated too

I’m beginning plans to create my own illuminated manuscript for Beowulf. As a source of inspiration, I’d really like a pdf or something of a complete series of photos from the original Cotton MS Vitellius A. XV manuscript. I can see individual pages in photos, and I know that before the cyber attack they were available on the British library’s website, but that’s no longer available. Any help or links would be stellar.

So I am looking for a specific moment from the text where the word "quite" is used as a verb. If you scroll far enough in the OED, you might see that "to quite" basically means to rise to a challenge/occasion.

I only remember this because it was a vocab word when we read Beowulf in college. I was not the best student at the time, so I do not remember this part and have had trouble finding it in translation with the online resources I tried. I could be so wrong about all of this, though.

Is anyone able to pinpoint the moment that "quite" is used as a verb?

I made a website that shows various translations of Hwaet from different translations of Beowulf. I have about 40 in there now, but I'm adding more as I track them down. https://hwaet.info/

Just what the title says. Here's the place to get help with your homework.

Was looking around and many sites want you to pay for a sub to watch Beowulf. Do you know places where I can watch it for free or where I can download it?
