[@maihaiki888]

I can imagine this song being in two scenarios: - Looking for shelter during a storm, a lone traveler stumbles into a cave, not knowing that a giant lives there. The giant finds them, and they panic. But instead of the giant eating the traveler, the giant is friendly and tells the traveler to sit down and make himself comfortable until the storm is over. He sings a song that tells the traveler a story since the giant is lonely. - A father telling his two little children a story before bed.

[@almussalix]

I love the idea of a thousand year old heathen folk epic being played in a lavish and extravagant Christian holy place. Good thing some monk hundreds of years ago had the foresight to change up the lyrics to give it a pro christian sentiment or we might have lost this forever. Benjamin Bagby is proof that if you look hard enough, you will find evidence that we still live in an age of high scholarship. This man has breathed life into one of histories most tragic loses.

[@kamilkardel2792]

It was not performed in a Christian holy place, but a former synagogue.

[@BeastModeCode]

Kamil Kardel this was written around 1000 ad which most Germanic people, not vikings became Christan.

[@JonathanAllenMichael]

No, it was written around the 700s according to my textbook, and that is pure speculation. It is evident within the text that the original was a pagan Viking epoch, with a much later translation by a Roman Catholic monk, who embedded various themes and references to the Bible and Christianity.

[@cbsk341]

In the photos he's in a Church.

[@kevinwiley8385]

@@JonathanAllenMichael What I meant was that whatever monk chronicled it was wise to alter the Pagan Anglo-Saxon (not Viking, Viking basically means pirate, it wasn't an ethnic group) such that the story would be allowed to be told throughout the ages and not disappear along with so many other Pagan stories. And there were Anglo-Saxon Christians in England and the the North Sea region as early as 550-600 AD, so its possible that Beowulf was not altered at all.
