      People are making a lot of @MARIADAHVANA’s new Beowulf translation for its use of “Bro!” for “Hwæt!”, and it IS a sharp and *delightful* translation, though “Bro!”/“Hwæt!” is only the tip of the neologismberg:pic.twitter.com/p3VXf1KWTq

      The only thing I don't get is why sashimi. Everything else feels like an accurate (if refreshingly unique) translation, but sashimi? Did they have sashimi in that area/time period? I wonder what that part is translating

      It’s describing a battle with sea-monsters, it doesn’t have an equivalent meaning of turning them into food from what I can see.

      Sashimi was just for fun, and because I feel like eating your enemies - whether metaphorically or actually - is a big part of the story of Beowulf. I think Beowulf has berserker quantities he might pitch as refined. He's got that bro-style.

      That’s fair enough, I don’t think that it’s a bad thing to interpret the text as such, only wanted to tell the person what the OE text says.

      Oh, I wasn't offended! Just thought I'd chime in. Yeah, the OE just says battle with sea monsters. I'm just interested in the ways the lit-realm interprets sea monster battles. Many texts ancient and modern feel that the sea monsters are either actually gods or godlike...

      I agree. Sea or water monsters feature in many strange ways in medieval texts, there are a few good Irish examples but the weird story of the Quinotaur in a Frankish origin legend is also quite odd.

      Omg the quinotaur! Right? It's so fascinating how, throughout the centuries, sea monsters are seen as hugely problematic but also often familial. In Moby Dick, for ex, you get the sense that the whale is a trickster god with vulnerable flesh, but also a hardcore fellow traveler.

      I think that for people who live near the sea, it’s certainly occupying a dual perspective. The sea is a gateway and a provider of food and trade but it’s also terrifying.
