Ivy asked:

How does Headley translate the Anglo-Saxon term "eotan"? Or perhaps I should ask does Headley describe the mini tale within Beowulf, the Finn Episode, as a fight between men, some of whom are Jutes, or are they described as giants/literal monsters? I am looking for a translation of Beowulf that leans in to the mythological elements.
