scholars have long debated the origins of the character beowulf. some have argued that beowulf existed in heroic-legendary tradition prior to the composition of "beowulf," while others have believed that the "beowulf" poet invented his geatish protagonist. leonard neidorf has argued that beowulf was present in (now lost) heroic-legendary cycles before "beowulf" was composed. neidorf argued that the seventh-century usage of the name ‘biuuulf’ (beowulf), which involves an element (beow) that was unproductive in contemporary name-giving, suggests that legends of beowulf existed well before the composition of our extant poem.
