Set in the half-legendary, half historical Scandinavian past, it tells the story of the hero Beowulf, who comes to the aid of the Danish king Hrothgar by killing first the terrifying, demonic monster Grendel, and then Grendels infuriated and vengeful mother. A lifetime later, Beowulfs own kingdom, Geatland, is threatened by a fierydragon; Beowulf heroically takes on this challenge, but himself dies killing the dragon. The poem celebrates the virtues of the heroic life, but Hrothgar and Beowulf are beacons of wisdom and courage in a dark world of feuds, violence and uncertainty, and Beowulfs selfless heroism is set against a background of ruthless power struggles, fratricide and tyranny.
