local mead hall! In the Anglo-Saxon epic poem Beowulf translated by Seamus Heaney, the place to be was Heorot’s Great Mead Hall. On the surface this space just looks like a grand hall where warriors go in order to have a good time with friends, and excessive amounts of alcohol. Although it is a place of joy and booze consumption, the mead hall is used as a symbol of community, new beliefs, and reputation.
