À propos de cet audio
Long before the Viking longships ever hit English shores, the Anglo-Saxon warriors were already spinning wild tales in their ancient, badass language—stories about epic heroes, terrifying monsters, and fate itself.
In this episode, we’re diving into the legendary Beowulf—one of the oldest and most complete epic poems from the Anglo-Saxon era. Written around the 8th century (with the surviving manuscript in a 10th-century West Saxon dialect), it’s packed with larger-than-life battles, loyalty, courage, and a fascinating mix of pagan beliefs and Christian faith.
From the monstrous Danish beast Grendel to the fire-breathing dragon, from battlefield glory to deep reflections on destiny, get ready to step back into a world full of swords, spells, dragons, and devotion.
