영웅시에 투영된 왕의 이상적 이미지 = King’s Ideal Image in Heroic Poetry

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Heroic poems such as 『Beowulf』 deal with a very strict moral behaviour common to all Germanic races in the early Middle Ages. The leader(king) gave legal and economic protection in return for military service. The king’s function is made clear in his title of hring-fengel, ‘ring-prince’(Beo 2345). This unique combination of words indicating the importance of gold is closely associated with the role of king in heroic society. Some critics have suggested that King Beowulf should not have endangered his life and thereby his country’s prosperity by taking on the challenge single-handed. However, such a modern interpretation of military tactics is inappropriate for the heroic society, where kings and warriors are requested to act immediately and to pursue his reputation. The major difference between Beowulf and other kings is that he is consistently presented from his first appearance as a man of action and a man charged with the lofty heroic idealism ‘to achieve glory’.
