Low key actually got around to reading this because of playing too much Hades

[Raya Paul Gracchus · Rating 2 out of 5]

If you've read any fantasy novel, you've read Beowulf, because of course this is one of the main traditions that fantasy writing draws on. One thing this poem is that contemporary fantasy writing obviously isn't, is a metrical, oral piece, and while this translation grammatically indicates how the meter would have been structured in the original, it does not otherwise preserve any of the metrical or lyric qualities that might have made the original work interesting.
