Let’s take it back—way back—to the year 700-something.
Before dragons got cool on HBO…
Before houses fought over thrones…
There was Beowulf — the OG epic hero.
But what if I told you Beowulf and Game of Thrones have more in common than you'd think?
Yep. Medieval vibes, monsters, power plays… it's all there.
⚔️ Hero vs. Antiheroes
-
Beowulf is the classic noble warrior: brave, loyal, strong, and a total monster-slayer.
-
GoT gives us messy, morally grey characters like Jon Snow (a little Beowulf-ish), Daenerys (queen mode), and, uh… basically everyone in House Lannister 😬.
👉 Who would win in a fight?
Let’s be real—Beowulf wrestled a literal monster with his bare hands. That’s main character energy.
🐉 Monsters & Mayhem
-
Beowulf fights:
-
Grendel (giant swamp demon)
-
Grendel’s mom (not the kind you mess with)
-
A dragon (because of course there's a dragon)
-
-
GoT brings:
-
White Walkers (zombie kings)
-
Three huge dragons
-
A throne made of swords and betrayal
-
👉 Both stories show that the real monsters aren’t always the ones with claws—they’re the ones with power.
👑 Themes That Hit Hard
-
Loyalty & Honor
-
Fate vs. Free Will
-
Reputation & Legacy
-
The Price of Power
Beowulf dies a hero. In Game of Thrones, dying is… kind of the only guarantee.
🧠 Why Teens Should Care
-
Beowulf may be old, but it’s basically a blueprint for fantasy as we know it.
-
If you like Game of Thrones, you’re already into the epic tradition. Beowulf is just the raw version—no filters, just grit, guts, and glory.
🎤 Final thought:
Beowulf walked so Jon Snow could brood in a snowy castle.

Which epic hero are you: Beowulf, Jon Snow, or Aragorn?

Beowulf in memes: Medieval but make it modern
What do you think?
Would Beowulf survive in Westeros? Or would the Iron Throne chew him up?
