Myth & Epic

The Legend of Beowulf: The Viking Epic in Modern English – New Adaptation from Original Norse Mythology

About the book

This text was created using cutting edge AI technology. It is my take on the ancient story, not a faithful translation to the Christian version. The intention with this text was to return the story to the Norse roots.

It is full of monsters, dragons, ancient demons, and warriors who laugh at death, and seek beautiful glory above all else. Each line has been carefully rewritten, in modern easy to read English, in a way that honours the spirit, ethics, and beauty of the human beings it’s speaking about. If you want Beowulf as he once was—fierce, proud, free—this is the book you have waited for.
