The Queen of Attolia and Beowulf

Ready for another archaic analogy? You know how Beowulf and other ancient stories will take random tangents to talk about other people that no one cares about? Well, I was reading Beowulf  and came across this little side story. When Beowulf returns home victorious, the queen of the Geats is introduced, and the poem pauses to contrast her favorably
