Grigsby argues that the poem reflects the violent ending of the Mother goddess native fertility religion of Nerthus . As summarized in the course of a film review in The Independent Grigsby sees the work as a poetic account of forceful suppression of an older fertility cult, with human sacrifice central to its religion, in 5th century England, and its replacement by an incoming warrior cult. Grendel stands for a vibrant English pagan religion as rich and complex as that of the early Celts. Grendel s mother represents the outgoing fertility goddess in whose sacred Danish lakes, Tacitus recorded, human victims were drowned. ref http www.independent.co.uk arts entertainment films features beowulf a her for our times 399739.html ref References Reflist Category 2005 books Category English heroic legends Category Norse mythology Category Beowulf legend Category Novels set in Anglo Saxon England ... more details
