Which character is described in these lines?


"The man-ruler famous,

The long-worthy atheling, sat very woful,

Suffered great sorrow, sighed for his liegemen,

When they had seen the track of the hateful pursuer,

The spirit accursed: too crushing that sorrow,

Too loathsome and lasting."


Beowulf

Grendel

Hrothgar

Hrothgar is the man who is described in these lines.
He was a famous king, whose men kept dying because the monster Grendel killed them all, so he felt a dire need to seek help from the great hero Beowulf.
