Um, not quite. The Heaney Beowulf translation is waiting here at my left hand for me to get to it. I haven't read the saga before, but I have read John Gardner's Grendel and that is definitely worth reading as a companion piece -- a beautifully and sympathetically told story from the monster's point of view. Completely unimaginable, until you read it!I haven't read it. The Epic of Gilgamesh is next after I finally get around to my Beowulf comparisons. I think Peder, as always, is ahead of us on the curve for these two classics.
It sounds like we are really meshing with Gilgamesh, and wolfing down Beowulf.
