Answer:

"Beowulf" presents the men as happy, rejoicing in the praises of their leader through the minstrel's song while Grendel presents a more horrific and extreme behavior of the men in the mead hall.

Explanation:

The epic narrative "Beowulf" by Seamus Heaney tells the story of the hero Beowulf and his actions, saving his people and the Danes from the menacing Grendel and his mother. On the other hand, the narrative of the same story but from a different perspective, "Grendel" by John Gardner tells the story from the monster's side. This presents a 'voice' for the monster greatly evaded and feared by the people.

<u>Heaney's text presents the men in the mead hall as calm and rejoicing, enjoying the party and satisfied with the praises of their leader</u>. They were <u>proud of their king's greatness and greatly accepts the exultations, happy with the song sung by the minstrel</u>.

On the other hand, <u>Gardner's version presents the men as wild and </u><em><u>"howling and clapping and stomping of men gone mad on art"</u></em><u>, driven out of control by the minstrel's songs of praise of their leader</u>. He concludes that they are <em>"a fire more dread than any visible fire"</em>.

What kind of diet did the Greeks have? How do you<br> know?
8_murik_8 [283]
The Greek diet was very healthy. Food in Ancient Greece consisted of grains, wheat, barley, fruit, veggies, breads and cake. They also grew olives, grapes, figs, wheat and kept goats for milk and cheese. In the summer months they would east lots of fish and squid. From what I can tell they were pescatarian . Because their diets did not consist of meat, but rather fish. They felt killing and eating domesticated animals was wrong.

Pescatarian diet.

Hope this helps!
