Beowulf_And_Eaters_Of_The_Dead

Beowulf And Eaters Of The Dead After reading Beowulf and Eaters of the Dead, it is easy to see that both stories are very similar. It seems to be one story that has been changed in some aspects, but for the most part it carries the same big events in the story line. They both deal with monsters, sea serpents, dragons, a great hall and one fearless warrior named Beowulf in Beowulf and Buliwyf in Eaters of the Dead. Even though the two stories are similar in structure, they are told in two different ways. Beowulf is written as a poem and was meant to be told as a source of entertainment in a king’s court. Eaters of the Dead was written as a manuscript by Ibn Fadlan about his encounters with the Northmen. When it comes to gathering evidence about the medieval past for historic evidence about the Vikings life styles, women, myths, burial procedures or fighting styles, Eater of the Dead is a better source to get information than Beowulf. The reason for this is that Eaters of the Dead provides us with better details of the events that happen in these similar stories.
