Since we finished reading Beowulf yesterday, today, we started watching The 13th Warrior, a movie that is based on Beowulf. It was originally a novel written by Michael Crighton, the man who wrote Jurassic Park, Timeline, and other blockbuster movies.

When writing The Eaters of the Dead, he based it off of two things: Beowulf and Ahmad ibn Fadlan’s accounts of traveling with the Volga Vikings. I went into this much detail because of Alex!
Hope you guys enjoy the movie – it’s my favorite Beowulf movie out there!
