Sua[edit]

In the Beowulf article, it says that the dragon is sometimes called Sua. What's the source? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.78.50.75 (talk) 22:15, 12 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Son of Scyld Scefing[edit]

Most commentaries admit that Beowulf (lines 18 and 53) is probably a scribal error for Beo or Beow or Beaw or perhaps Beorn. The same scribe made three attempts at the Biblical Cain and got them all wrong. You shouldcomment on this. Ah, this page already advocates Beaw instead: - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scylding Vince Calegon 11:44, 6 March 2018 (UTC)
