Translation examples
But we are told that Grendel raided Heorot for twelve years (118, twelf wintra tíd *147, = ‘many a year’ 122–3, fela misséra *153).65 Now if I am right in supposing that Heorot was built after the overthrow of Froda (and that the poet was referring in line 50–1, *64–5 to the battle mentioned in 1714–15, *2039–40) this period will be just about right.
Sin embargo, se nos dice que Grendel atacó Heorot durante doce años (127, twelf wintra tíd *147, = «sin dar tregua» 133, fela misséra *153).[84] Ahora, si tengo razón al suponer que Heorot fue construida después del derrocamiento de Froda (y que el poeta estaba refiriéndose en las líneas 53-4, *64-5 a la batalla mencionada en 1765-6, *2039-40), este período encajaría perfectamente.
