Grendel's mother
Grendel's mother () is one of three antagonists (along with Grendel and the dragon) in the anonymous Old English poem ''Beowulf'' (c. 700–1000 AD). She is never given a name in the text.
The nature of Grendel's mother in the poem is the subject of ongoing controversy and debate among medieval scholars. This is due to the ambiguity of a few words in Old English which appear in the original ''Beowulf manuscript''. These words, particularly "ides, aglæcwif" (ll.1258a-1259b), appear either in conjunction with Grendel's mother or with her place of dwelling (a lake). Some have a specific significance within the context of Germanic paganism.
==Story==
(詳細はBeowulf,'' is contained in the ''Nowell Codex''. As noted in lines 106-114 and lines 1260-1267 of ''Beowulf,'' Grendel's mother and Grendel are descendants of Cain. After Grendel is killed and Grendel's mother attacks Heorot in revenge, Beowulf ventures into her cave under a lake, where Grendel's mother nearly defeats Beowulf until he sees an antique sword, with which he kills her and beheads the dead Grendel. Beowulf then returns to the surface and to his men at the "ninth hour" (l. 1600, "nōn", about 3pm). 〔Jack, George. ''Beowulf: A Student Edition,'' p. 123 〕
