On Beowulf (addendum)
Still sick. Here's the follow-up comment I promised ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)

solmedes .So as I was working on this meta yesterday, something else fell into place. Some time ago, when I was pondering the oh-so-controversial Ch 5 conversation between Beo and Lachesis, amielleon provided a new reading of the text. As Ammie sees it, the conversation is NOT a means of hooking Lachesis up with her alleged dorky paramour but instead is a request from Beowulf that Lachesis give assistance to Cuan's children. Which, of course, raises the new question of why devil-may-care mercenary Beowulf, er, cares about what happens with Cuan's kids.
