Trivia

  • Beowulf is also an Old English epic about a warrior of the same name. The warrior lived sometime between the 3rd century BC and the 17th century AD in what is now called Scandinavia. He is best known for the vowels in his name because at the time the manuscript was supposedly written, vowels hadn't yet been discovered.
  • The great Beowulf scholar J. R. R. Tolkien noted that the name Beowulf almost certainly means bee-wolf in Old English. The name Beowulf is therefore a kenning for "bear" due to a bear's love of honey and to the similarity and not-so-distant kinship between ursines and canines.
