Beowulf

Based from the story I read, It is from “The Old English Literature” epic
poem Beowulf tells the story of a young Geatish warrior who comes to the aid
of Hrothgar, the King of the Danes, whose kingdom is being terrorized by a
monster named Grendel. Beowulf uses his epic strength and bravery to slay
Grendel in Hrothgar’s mead hall, Heorot, and then to slay Grendel’s vengeful
mother in her underwater lair. Beowulf’s fame spreads, and he returns home
to Geatland laden with treasure for his king, Hygelac. Beowulf later becomes
the king of the Geats and rules for a peaceful fifty years. When a dragon
begins to pose a threat to Geatland, Beowulf and his servant Wiglaf set off to
defeat it. Beowulf succeeds in slaying the dragon, but dies in the process.
