At long last, here we find the excellent illustrations of Anke Eissmann, alongside the poem they were based upon. The combination here of Old English poem, Anglo-Saxon font (see pic 3), modern translation by John Porter alongside, and pictorial representation by Anke Eissmann, creates a multi-media experience to bring the Beowulf poem's "lost third" back to prominence - and give both dragon and greybeard-hero once again their due. These last thousand lines of the poem, often skipped or summarised when studying from line I, contain much that is finest in the poem, besides the dragon: the vivid account of the death of the terrible old Swedish King Ongentheow, one of the most focussed battle-pieces in Old English; Beowulf's three death-speeches, which range between grief, regret and pride, and end with four lines of more-than-stoic resignation; and the theme of the Last Survivor, the man who leaves the treasure for the dragon to make his own.
