History of “Grendel”
• The main monster in the story of Beowulf is Grendel. That is capitalized as though it is a proper name like Fido or Black Beauty, but it was a species of serpent. People spoke of grendels pond or grendels pit or grendels wood, naming them according to where they lived. Grendel in the story was a grendel because he lived in a large pond full of coarse ferns. He probably had a loud, deep-throated growl. There are hints that an ancient word “grindill” means to bellow, and a Middle English word “grindel” means angry.
