(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
Grendel is a monster in the Anglo-Saxon epic poem Beowulf, feared by all save Beowulf himself.
Grendel is a descendant of the biblical Cain, the first murderer. In Beowulf, Grendel haunts Heorot, the mead-hall of the Danes, and eats men too drunk to defend themselves. Beowulf leaves Geatland to defeat the monster bare-handed.
