There is seriously a bar here in my hometown of the same name that is entirely Nordic themed with a huge wooden dragon named Grendel weaving between the exposed wooden support beams on the ceiling.

Seamus Heaney is my favorite translation as well! What's going on down in front? :D

I added some soap opera histrionics of my own that don't appear in the poem.

Very impressive depiction. Just the right sense of bleak nobility. Will have this image in mind from now on, as I read.

Lovely choice, as I just finished his illustrated edition myself.

And a lovely image, to be certain!
