beowulf’s dragon
the third and final enemy of beowulf, one of the earliest known works of fiction.a fire drake measuring 50 ft (15 m) long. the dragon guards a lair filled with piles of priceless treasure. its heavy body blocks daylight from reaching the armor, goblets, jewels, coins, and golden swords it h–rds deep in the cave. whenever someone steals a golden cup from its lair, the dragon rampages through the countryside, burning every home in geatland and terrifying villagers. only beowulf, king of the geats, can stop the dragon.
beowulf is armed with a magic sword and has an army to face the dragon. he strikes the dragon with his sword, but the blow glances off the beast’s hide. the rest of his army flees but wiglaf stays to help. he stabs the dragon in a vulnerable place and beowulf slashes it through the middle, cutting the monster in two and ending its life.
beowulf’s dragon is the first example of a fire-breathing dragon in literature.
