An/ epic poem is a long narrative poem that celebrates the deeds of a heroic figure. Epic poems served several purposes: • They told the stories of the culture's history.
• They passed down the culture's values.
• They entertained the listeners.

Image is taken from textbook pgs. 2-9. This passage is the background information for the excerpt. It’s just here as a reminder of the context, since you’re not reading the entire epic poem. More important context:
Side note--
Although Beowulf had come through the Anglo-Saxon tradition as a pagan story, it was recorded by a Christian society. The person or people who wrote the story down, probably working in a monastery, made a point to include Christian values, especially in the character of the hero Beowulf. Beowulf represents Christianity as he, a good man, struggles against Grendel, an evil monster, and ultimately triumphs.
When you read Beowulf, keep in mind the mixture of pagan and Christian values and the way the language reflects both the oral tradition and the Old English in which the poem was written.

I attached the photo of the section of the story please help me I would really appreciate it I'll give 30 points.
