<span>Beowulf’s first major battle was against Grendel, a monster that had been terrorizing the Scyldings. Beowulf heard about Grendel’s murderous spree in the land of the Danes under King Hrothgar and decided to come to their aid. Beowulf fights Grendel in a mead hall at Herot and tears off the monster’s arm, mortally wounding it. Grendel’s mother attacks the Danes in revenge but Beowulf follows the monster back to her lair and kills it. Beowulf goes back home to the Geats and becomes their King. Fifty years after his last battle with Grendel’s mother, Beowulf is forced to fight a dragon after a slave steals a golden cup from its lair. This last battle is however difficult for Beowulf who receives help from one of his men and the two finally defeat the dragon. During the battle with the dragon Beowulf was mortally wounded. The hero dies soon after and is buried ceremoniously at sea</span>

Answer:

Beowulf is an epic poem about an hero from the Geats who battles different monsters in order to bring peace to his kingdom.

Explanation:

A monster called Grendel is disturbing the kingdom of Beowulf, so he fights against him with great strenght and courage to liberate his kingdom from it. Then Grendel's mother tries to obtain revenge, but Beowulf slays her. Beowulf later turns into the king for five decades until a dragon starts threatening the kingdom. Thus, Beowulf battles with him and wins the battle, but dies during it.

If Odysseus wasn’t a good hero what could’ve happened to him, his wife, his son and his kingdom? What was Odysseus able to do. B
shtirl [24]

Answer:

well for starters he may have never even made it back to his wife because it takes a heros traits to go through all that peril and still make it home. If he didn't prove himself or have the smarts, his wife would eventually have to have married off to another man that was more suitable to rule the kingdom and Odysseus would loose everything that he owned. It was because he was a good hero that he became the king in the first place and he also survived many dangerous encounters. This includes the Cyclops, Polyphemus, Circe who almost turned him into an animal but ended up helping him instead, and then also how he returned home, claimed what was his, and killed all the suitors that had tried to takes his position and wife. Also, the fact that he was some amazing war hero who proved his worth showed that he truly deserved his positions and he wasn't questioned by anybody when he took it back. His son probably would have been used as a slave or normal warrior. Maybe even killed so that there were no possible men to take over the throne with Odysseus gone.
