beowulf
Storyboard Text
- Hrothgar is the King of the Danes in Southern Denmark. Through success in battle, he has become rich and mighty. As a symbol of his power and prosperity, he builds a magnificent mead-hall, called Heorot, in which he and his loyal warriors can feast, drink, boast, and listen to the tales of the scops, the Anglo-Saxon bards.
- But soon after Heorot is finished,the mirth of the men and the music of the scop anger Grendel, a monster descended from Cain. Grendel raids the hall, snatching men and eating them, then returns to his home in the marsh. He repeats his nightly raids until no one dares sleep in the hall. Heorot, once the symbol of the Scyldings' greatness, is now a place of shame and terror.
