Description
We are continuing through the Life, Death, and Meaning with Beowulf and Boethius course that I led in the Fall of 2024 with the text of Beowulf from the death of Grendel to Beowulf's departure from Denmark.

Many topics are discussed in this episode, including the hero's relationship with fortune and mortality, Beowulf's Christology, inspirations for C.S. Lewis's Narnia and That Hideous Strength, and more!
