Hail Mighty Asa-Thor! I go forth today to do my duty. I go forth today to drink deep of life in Midgarth. Walk beside me, great friend of men. Lend me your strength that I may defeat all jotuns in my path, Be they giants of the world, of the mind or of the heart. Help me to do right by my Kin, as you do. Hail Thor!
You also could just read Beowulf, instead of watching the 13th Warrior. You also could read Eaters of the Dead which was an adaptation of Beowulf, which was in turn adapted into The 13th Warrior. Yano, one day this thread is gonna crash the damned server. I just realized the utter joy of earplugs, I can't hear a damned thing.
All true. Beowulf is a tough read, though. At least I thought so. Eaters of the Dead was interesting, but I enjoy the movie better, especially the music. The music makes that frakkin' movie, especially in the final act. But for those interested in Scandinavian lore, I highly recommend the book "The Sagas of Icelanders." What bunch of magnificent viking bastards!! Also, those are some of the earliest recorded human writings that are written in what we would consider contemporary narrative.
well shit, you coulda just said "Beowulf". I read it in my APEnglish class wayyyyyyyyyyyyy back in HS. It was mandatory. I'll definitely check out the movie now.
Yea we read Beowulf in British Lit in 12th grade it was ok, not the worst but certainly not the best either, and ya a bit of a tough read to But I'll probably go see the movie to
