FYI for anyone watching this six years later: the original text uses the same word to describe Beowulf as for Grendel’s mother. Modern translators interpreted the word as “hero” or “warrior” for Beowulf but “monster” or some female variant (hag or witch) for Grendel’s mother. The assumption was that because she fought Beowulf, and was female, she must have been monstrous. However, it is quite likely that audiences at the time would have pictured her as a female supernatural warrior, that is, a Valkyrie. (Note that Valkyries were not “good guys” in Norse mythology, so this wouldn’t necessarily be out of character for a Valkyrie).

In addition, when this word is used to refer to grendels mother, it specifically has the added “wif” to it, akin to the modern additive of “woman” ie “post woman, fire woman etc”, indicating that, if the word describes Beowulf as a warrior, it describes her specifically as a warrior woman

Grendel's not really a warrior 'cause he doesn't use weapons right? Well, I think it's only fair if when we fight, I don't use any weapons either!" 4:37 Breka 5:11 Beowulf wins by ripping off Grendel's arm with his bare hands. 5:19 Beowulf gives Grendel's arm to Hrothgar to hang from the Heorot's rafters, 5:29 Unferth 5:32 Hrunting - heirloom sword 5:40 Grendel's mother storms into the hall 5:43 grabs Grendel's arm and vanishes into the night. 5:56 Aeschere's head 6:12 Grendel's mother ambushes him and drags him into her cave. 6:30 But luckily for beowulf Grendel's mother has a bit of a hoarding problem, and her cave is absolutely full of nifty Magical Weaponry. So he grabs a shiny looking sword that turns out to be super magical and manages to kill her with it. 6:59 sword dissolves 7:12 Then Beowulf and the Yates, having done all the monster slaying they felt obligated to do, sail back to their homeland where Beowulf presents their King Hygelac with a bunch of treasure and is lauded as a great hero. 7:26 damascened 7:47 Damascus steel is a legendarily tough metal who's forging process has been lost. 8:28 DRAGON 9:25 Naegling - sword Hygelac gave him 10:10 Beowulf's actually dying and he's like; "Wiglaf, come closer. I have one last request. Could you go drag the treasure out of the barrow so I can take one last look at the riches I just won?" 10:26 So Wiglaf, now King Wiglaf, exiles the 11 dudes who ran away from the dragon and the Yates retrieved the rest of the dragon's treasure and hold Beowulf's funeral.

Just for clarification, when Beowulf sliced the Dragon's neck open, he actually reached into it with one of his arms (the one on the side where he was bitten since it dislodged the arm and made his reach longer) and tore it's heart out and ate it in front of the dragon, which was actually how he got poisoned.

Probably also worth noting here that Grendel turns out to be the accidental son of Hrothgar, who boned Grendel's Mom-monster that one time and then ran away and pretended it never happened. The dragon also had a personal grudge against Hrothgar that he ended up taking out on Beowulf. (also, the dragon may be out of a completely different story and got hacked in by a bored theology student - no-one really knows!) Ultimately, Hrothgar is an nebbish, and his wife is actually much more interesting and cool - Wealtheow is one of the major literary examples of the very real Peaceweavers & Shieldmaidens cultural thing in A-S civilisation. A well-documented historical version of the same is Aelfraedus Magnus' daughter Aethelflaed, a couple hundred years later.

"Look dude I know I'm dying of dragon venom or whatever, but NO YOU CANNOT HELP ME WALK. That's LAME."

Tolkien wasn't just a "fan of the classics", he was actually a renowned Beowulf scholar.

I remember one of my English teachers telling us the story of Beowulf. I can't speak to his sources, but the man knew how to tell a good story. He told us how Hrothgar had called for many heroes before Beowulf. They would party in the Mead Hall in preparation, and when Grendel smashed the doors open, the heroes would fight. But none of them could hurt Grendel. Then, one day comes Beowulf. Not the biggest man Hrothgar has seen, in fact, he's even a little on the short side. Furthermore, his eyes are puffy & squinted, a side effect from bee stings when he was a child (part of the origin of his name). Beowulf offers to help Hrothgar, but Hrothgar warns him of Grendel's track record with "heroes". The best have come, and they have been slain. Beowulf tells Hrothgar he is not the best, but he is someone who understands the darker side of the world. He said something about this old cursed apple tree and he was eating one of said apples to kinda show he understood evil. That part is a bit fuzzy, it's been 17 years, sue me. Hrothgar allows Beowulf to drink in the Mead Hall with the other, more promising/pure heroes he's hired to bring down Grendel. Night falls, the party is underway, and Grendel smashes the doors open. The heroes leap into action as Grendel begins murderizing them. At which point Beowulf challenges Grendel. Eschewing both his weapons and his armor, he fights Grendel with nothing but himself. And he succeeds, ripping off Grendel's arm and driving him away. I loved his version of Beowulf as the underdog & imperfect warrior. A person who can draw unexpected strength from the understanding of his own failings.

For those wondering, you may have heard the term damascus steel used for modern processes, but it is not the same thing. What people call damascus steel produced these days is actually known as forge welded or pattern welded steel. It's made by putting pieces of different kinds of steel together and forming them into a single piece of metal. This ends up looking kinda like real damascus steel (i.e., the wave patterns of dark and light grays), but it is not the same. e: though apparently modern researchers have managed to produce steel with the same patterns as real damascus using experimental processes. Cool stuff.

@ryanm9566

Yeah, we definitely know how to make Damascus steel. We actually know how to make much better Damascus steel because of modern materials and tools. The "mystery" surrounding Damascus steel is more that we don't quite know how they managed to make it back then with the materials and tools they had. We aren't entirely clueless though, we have several possibilities, we just can't know 100% for sure which exact methods they used. Same with Greek fire. We know it's basically napalm, and we now can make quite a few different and better varieties of the stuff, we just don't know specifically what they used, although we do have several plausible theories.

As someone whose personally dug through as much information about Damascus as possible and felt the fury of a thousand smith's echo through my soul, I appreciate the acknowledgment.

In the version I had read, not only does Beowulf rip off Grendel's arm, he pins Grendel to the ground, and when he escapes he ends up ripping off his entire shoulder too! He then laments with the fact that he wishes he could've taken his head instead of his arm (which ends up getting to do anyway). Also, he decapitates Grendel's mom too.

Having read Beowulf, I have come to the realization that Beowulf hates weapons because weapons aren't as STRONG AS HIS FISTS Seriously, every time he has to use a sword, the sword breaks, and before he fights the dragon, he spends a few verses wishing that he could fight it unarmed like he would have done in his youth

Love your show, but as a sword collector and amateur swordsmith, I need to point out that Damascus steel is not lost technology and we have reversed engineered almost all of the 14 variations on pattern forge-welded steel AKA "Damascus " steel. When someone wrote "the forging process has been lost" They mean that we do not know-how with the energy output and metal refining process they were able to produce it. Similar to the idea that we do not know the process used to assemble stone henge or the pyramids, but we sure as heck can make both those things and the same is true for "Damascus" steel (small point that name is more a marketing term as the city for the land around Damascus could not produce this metal, its called that because it was often sold in the massive market of Damascus). The point being, we can and I totally have made Damascus steel. I can even gift you with a bilit of it if you like. on that point the sword at @8:11 is a modern reproduction, if my memory serves me this was a replica produced by Dr. Jim Hrisoulas PhD who has written books on the subject and has learned and taught many a swordsmith in metallurgical sciences of making this stuff. Side note: Now what is crazy about the Nords model of producing this is that they would forge this metal, cut it up and forge weld it back together just to make it look better and stronger. We have examples of 4 bar composite weapons found in troves made this way. There is a lot of myth in this area with a huge amount of misinformation and fanboy theories, think the Ulfberht swords or the people who blindly believe the highlander movie about how "katanas were the worlds most perfect sword" (hint they were not, impressive yes, but flawed and the result of less than ideal metal quality... before someone tries to argue... _stop_. I have made these from tamahagane on up.) Anyhow if you want to get a whole rundown on the history of this often history-making metal talk to Jim and read his 6+ books.

Grendel’s mother probably kept the sword with her because she wanted to keep an eye on it and because she didn’t want it to fall into the hands of her enemies.

While I typically love OSP there's a massive sticking point in this video, specifically regarding Damascus Steel. Mechanically Damascus steel has been totally reverse engineered, you can buy Damascus steel kitchen utensils fairly cheaply. The parts we don't know are more or less nitpicking, we don't know what exactly they used as an acid to reveal the pattern ect. Carbon Nanotubes are a naturally occurring and fairly common molecule, the modern nanotechnology is making them longer than a few atoms, which ancient Damascus steel weapons don't do. Basically they fell into the trap that come from taking overhyped sources at face value due to knowledge gaps.

Minor fact, it's widely known in Scandinavian folklore, no doubt inspired by this very story, that trolls could not be slain by any weapon forged by man and the only blades that could penetrate their hides were those forged by the trolls themselves. This is why a common theme in Scandinavian folklore is for the hero to outwit the trolls to use the weapons on themselves. Obviously Grendel's mother was a bit too clever for that to work. As for why Grendel's mother would keep weapons that could be used to kill her, I'm going to guess for the same reason humans keep weapons that can kill other humans, yet have the unfortunate side effect of being very efficient at killing us should another human get their hands on it. In case another of Grendel's mother's kind stopped by and decided her treasure trove would look so much better in their cave.
