Paraphrasing from the Beowulf story is the story of a hero who killed a monster using a sword.

Beowulf is one of the oldest poems written in English.

When the English poets wrote Beowulf, the Anglo-Saxons had just moved from Denmark and Sweden to England, so they still had many friends and relatives in their places of origin, so they told stories about these people.

In this story, Beowulf is a great warrior and hero. He sailed to Denmark to save King Hrothgar from a terrible monster called Grendel. A fight broke out, and Beowulf managed to cut Grendel's arm, so the monster ran away and died of blood loss.

The following night, Grendel's mother came and attacked King Hrothgar's palace. Beowulf fought him and succeeded in killing him also using a magic sword. For his actions, Beowulf received many prizes.

After that, Beowulf did more adventures. He was involved in the Biking invasion of Frisia led by King Hygelac (Franka sources also mention this invasion, so it is known that this incident happened in 516 AD). Eventually, Beowulf became King of the Gotars until he was old, about to fifty-five years old. One day he heard that there was a new monster terrorizing people, this time it was a dragon. Despite his age, Beowulf was still a hero, so he went and killed the dragon. However, this time the dragon also managed to kill Beowulf.
