Question
An author nicknamed for this sort of creature earned the epithet “the homilist” for a tract condemning his countrymen for incurring raids. The Wife’s Lament is often compared to a poem in which a woman longs for a man named for this creature over her husband Eadwacer (“ADD-wah-chair”). A raven, an eagle, and this creature are the three standard “beasts of battle.” A poet partially named for this creature penned the long poems “Christ II” and “Juliana,” which appear in the (*) Exeter Book; that poet’s name combines “Cyne” (“KIN-uh”) with this animal. Henry Sweet suggested that “bee” and this animal made up a word that was a kenning for “bear” and names a man who wields the sword Hrunting to avenge the mead-hall Heorot. For 10 points, the name of the Old English hero who slays Grendel combines “Beo” and what animal? ■END■
