Beowulf
STORY PREFACE
Sailing the short distance from Geatland to Denmark, the sixth-century warrior was sure he could help. His name was Beowulf. He would soon meet a monster - the “powerful demon” Grendel - who had terrorized the Danes for a dozen years.

And ... how could the story of Beowulf - about Scandinavian Geats, Danes and Swedes - become Britain’s national epic? To cite this story, using MLA Guidelines: Bos, Carole D. "Beowulf" AwesomeStories.com. Date of access IN OTHER WORDS: Author. Title of story. Name of web site. Date of access <URL>.
