Reading Beowulf | Alexandria
Read Beowulf by Unknown. Bridging ancient and modern worlds, Beowulf's icon challenges our view of heroism - not through brute strength, but radical hospitality. While we glorify lone-wolf heroes, the epic reveals true power lies in community bonds and generous leadership. Its surprise? The monster Grendel embodies isolation's horror, not evil's essence. A timeless warning about walls we build.
