Who is Beowulf?

Beowulf was an epic hero of supernatural strength. When no warrior could defeat the ruthless monster, Grendel, Beowulf arrived on the scene. With the use of his incredible, raw strength, Beowulf managed to slay Grendel. Then, when Grendel's mother sought revenge, Beowulf slayed her too. However, in his final battle against the dragon, Beowulf was slain. However, his legacy lived on amongst his people, and he was forever remembered as a great hero and king.
