Predict: knowing the characteristics of an epic poem, how can the epic poem, beowulf, demonstrate the characteristics of the anglo-saxon culture you learned about in the ohs and in class today?
the anglo-saxons were a cruel people who had no real language skills, and therefore, the poem wasn't written down.

the anglo-saxons valued loyalty, strength, and bravery in their heroes; epic poems are long works of poetry, sometimes passed down by word of mouth, that usually depict the story of a great hero who is loyal to his people.

epic poems have nothing to do with anglo-saxon culture.

beowulf is an epic poem about a hero from somewhere near denmark.
