不過這篇史詩除了故事經典外，

有兩個觀念是要明白的，

一是「過渡沈浸在宴會歡愉之中便會招致殺身之禍」，Grendel和dragon都是在國王們開開心心舉辦慶功宴時近來把大家搞得一團糟。

二是「歷史是會重演的，英雄也會一直傳承下去」。Beowulf繼承他老爸， Wiglaf繼承Beowulf.....

Beowulf

這個故事很簡單，分成三部分。

貝爾沃夫殺死古藍多

貝爾沃夫殺死古藍多他媽

貝爾沃夫殺死噴火龍

就這樣（下台一舉躬）。

哈哈，只說這樣會被阿彭罵死XD

現在請大家翻到英史課本第31頁，那裡有個很詳細的「祖譜圖」喔！！

（看那就好，我不畫嘍）

這個故事主要有兩個民族The Danes(國王Hrothgar)  in Denmark和 The Geats(Beowulf)  in Sweden故事重點呢。

大家看一下文章每部分[]裡的東西就知道這個故事在說什麼啦。

以下是PLOT

The king of Denmark, Hrothgar, built a great hall, Heorot, to show his power.  He held party there everyday, and the loud happy sound waked up a monster, Grendel.  Grendel was very angry and his started to eat people in the hall, making everyone dare not to go there.  The king failed to fight with Grendel, and this news spared through every country.  After 12 years, Beowulf sailed from Sweden to Denmark to help Hrothgar beat Grendel, because Hrothgar once help Beowulf's father, Edgetho.  There was a courtier named Unferth, who always argued with people who came from other country, doubted Beowulf's ability, and he argued with Beowulf in the greeting party, and Beowulf proved himself that he had the power and strength that he could kill Grendel.

Beowulf waited in Heorot, and Grendel came there in the night. Beowulf grabbed Grendel when he was eating one of Danish solider.  In a fierce one-on-one fight Beowulf used his great hand-strength to tear Grendel's arm off and put it on the roof of Heorot.  Grendel wound heavily and went away to his mother's  under-water cave to die. After seeing the arm of Grendel, everyone lived in Denmark was ecstatic very much and they had a party for Beowulf, celebrating the death of Grendel. Hrothgar adopted Beowulf as his own son.

    The next night Grendel's mother came to Heorot seeking revenge and she took Hrothgar's favorite adviser, Esher, back to her cave.  The next day King Hrothgar asked Beowulf to go saving Esher and killing Grendel's mother.  Beowulf pursued her into her cave and there he fought her and cut her head with a magic sword hanged on the wall of the cave.  After he killed her he wandered through her cave and found Grendel lying dead and he also cut off Grendel's head. Everyone had a party and king gave Beowulf lots of treasure, and then Beowulf went back to his hometown and eventually became king there.

      Fifty years later there was a thief who stole a goblet from the treasure, which it had guarded for three hundred years of a dragon, so the dragon went on a fire-breathing rampage through the countryside.  Beowulf confronted the dragon and other solider were afraid of the dragon except for one, Wiglaf.

 Wiglaf helped Beowulf; however, the dragon bit Beowulf on the neck during the fight.  Wiglaf wound the dragon and Beowulf used sword to cut the dragon in half.  Finally, they got the treasure of the dragon but Beowulf died, before he died, he asked Wiglaf to build a tower for him.  In the end of this story,everyone was held a funeral for Beowulf.
