Answer:
Alliteration.
Explanation:
In "Grendel" by John Gardner, the poetic device that the author used in the phrase "deeds of dead kings" is <em>alliteration</em>. Grendel is talking about what the Shaper said about the actions of glorious kings. He uses alliteration. This is a literary device in which the words begin with the same letter. In an alliteration, words can also belong to the same consonant or vowel sound.
