Speaking of BEOWULF, Maria D. Headley's translation is my favorite. Her opener:

"Bro! Tell me we still know how to speak of kings!"

😄

ICYMI, the name "Beowulf" ultimately derives from Proto-Indo-European words that could mean "Danger in the Growing" or "Evil in the Becoming."

Wolf-boy and Grinder: The audio version

I promised to record audio of my translated passages from Beowulf, and I have. As a bonus, I’ve also recorded the introduction in the original version, for those who want to have an idea of how Old English was pronounced. (I have not recorded the full fight scene in Old English, because pretty much no one’s going to listen to seven and a half minutes of a language they don’t understand.) Here they are!

Now THAT'S a translation of Beowulf I would read!

BEE wolf! Not wolf, he was a bear!

But other than that I'm excited about this!

Ever wanted to read Beowulf's introduction and big fight scene translated into modern rural Western Canadian English, with lots of rude language? You're in luck!
