Beowulf is the title of the oldest surviving epic poem of Old English and the first to be written in the English vernacular. Beowulf, the title character, is a hero of the Geats in Scandinavia who travels to Denmark to help vanquish a monster from the swamplands known as Grendel who has been attacking the mead hall of Hrogar, king of the Danes. He slays the demon and is then attacked by Grendel’s mother, who he also slays. He returns to Geatland a hero and later becomes king. After a prosperous reign of fifty years, he is attacked by a dragon but is mortally wounded in the contest. The poem ends with his cremation on a funeral pyre at sea and the interment of his ashes in a burial mound in Geatland.
