Answer:

The correct response is Option C: The Danes offered sacrifices to pagan gods, in the hopes that the gods would save them from Grendel.

Explanation:

Beowulf is an Old English epic poem that was likely written between 975 and 1025, although the author is unknown. The tale is set in Scandinavia. The poem uses fictional inventions and legendary claims as well as historic elements that probably have some truth. The Danes make offerings at their pagan shrines in the hopes this will bring the wrath of the gods on Grendel the monster, but nothing happens. The Danes are terrorized for years by Grendel until Beowulf comes and performs heroically in helping the Danes but still dies in the end while fighting the dragon. It seems to be a commentary on warrior society not being enough to protect the everyday person from the terrors and unknowns of the world.

a). does not make much sense, as we now know most myths to be false and as such they were obviously not used as a form of record of historical events.

b). makes not much sense as it focused instead on the feats of gods and heroes as opposed to speaking of how certain cultures could communicate better.

c). is true along with d). The stories of old mythology continue, day in and day out, to inspire the works of many modern day artists.

d). is probably the best answer of them all. We see this frequently in mythology — in the days of old, thunderstorms were not blamed on the weather but on the rage of Zeus! Earthquakes were not a matter of tectonic plates shifting but of Neptune’s rage splitting the barrier between Earth and Hell!
