Okay, we are getting off topic here But i what to put in a word.
DO THE TRANSLATION!
You could well consider Beowulf the archtypicle Klingon warrior,
a true follower of Kahless.
Hrothgar and his men could well represent the unenlightened Klingon
"warrior" who do not know of Kahless or who no longer are visited
in thier dreams by Kahless.
