For anyone who has started to read Beowulf...Does anyone know who the author is refering to on page 9 lines 86-98? Who is the powerful demon? Who is the Almighty?
If anyone can figure it out let me know.

The powerful demon is explained later, its name is Grendel, and the Almighty is God (created the world). Beowulf was supposed to be written by a Christian so they're are a lot of references to traditional beliefs.
