why is beowulf an epic

[zixxer]

I seriously cannot wait until this core classes are over. I HATE papers, and ALWAYS put them off until the last minute (tonight/ this morning is a perfect example.)

I even tried getting some from my girl... for the first time EVER she said no. (because she didn't want me to just get up and leave when we're done.)


bleh. Sucks.. blarg

Did you get a good translation? I got a plain English version of Beowulf that helped tremendously in my British Literature class.

 

[nageov3t]

I found the Beowulf movie with Christopher Lambert in it VERY amusing.

 

[zixxer]

Beowulf was one of the better books they had us read in school.

yeah when i was in high school we had to read this. WE had a English version wich did make it very easy to read.

I thought it was very good. maybe not the masterpaice that others make it out to be but still worth reading.

Oldest book ever? Nah, an old poem.

Epic of Gilgamesh FTW

Old English and Gaelic was annoying, but we had the English translation with it so, not too bad.
