Columbus' voyage has even less meaning for North Americans than for South Americans because Columbus never set foot on our continent, nor did he open it to European trade. Scandinavian Vikings already had settlements here in the eleventh century, and British fisherman probably fished the shores of Canada for decades before Columbus. The first European explorer to thoroughly document his visit to North America was the Italian explorer Giovanni Caboto, who sailed for England's King Henry VII and became known by his anglicized name, John Cabot. Caboto arrived in 1497 and claimed North America for the English sovereign while Columbus was still searching for India in the Caribbean. Unable to celebrate Columbus' exploration as a great discovery, some apologists now want to commemorate it as the great "cultural encounter."

patron saint of Ireland. Legend says that Patrick tought the Irish about the concept of the Trinity by showing people the shamrock, a 3-leaved clover. The christianization of Ireland began in the fourth century AD, before the arrival of St Patrick, but it was not until Patrick arrived that Christianity was firmly planted. He was a leader of deep piety, humility, simplicity and unselfish devotion. *St Columba and the Irish Christian mission to Iona Columba, who had the potential to become a king in Ireland, instead, chose to give his full service to the mission of God. Columba is credited as being a leading figure in bringing the living in monasteries into life again. Iona is a small island in Scotland, where Columba settled and founded a monastery on it. From there he set about the conversion of pagan Scotland and much of northern England to Christianity. Iona became a holy island where several kings of Scotland, Ireland and Norway came to be buried

The characters can be divided into two groups fictitious and historical. The epic deploys many metaphors - e.g. the sea = the swan's road, body = a house for bones and alliteration. It is structured as two parts. In the first part King Hroghtgar, king of Danes built a palace Hereot near a lake. He disturbed the lake monsters sleep with his racuous parties. Grendel then goes to the castle every night and kidnaps a man. This went on for 12 years. Beowulf, a young viking, decides to put an end to it. He chooses 14 men to join him and sails across the strait with no weapns, mind you, because Grendel fought unarmed and Beowulf was an idiot however according to the rules of fiction he defeats Grendel
