초록
This paper identifies connections among Central Eurasian cultural elements in the Old English epic Beowulf, the Mongolian epic tradition, and medieval Mongolian and earlier Central Eurasian history and folk beliefs. Focusing primarily on the representation of feasts and celebration-related customs and culture in Beowulf, the author identifies specific early Germanic cultural elements in this famous Old English epic which have plausible connections with Mongolia and other peoples of the eastern half of Central Eurasia. The author’s findings demonstrate that comparative studies of the epic traditions of early Germanic peoples and Mongolians may lead to the identification of shared cultural elements, some of which originate specifically from the earliest empire of Central Eurasia, the Scythian Empire. Many of the distinctive common cultural elements identified in this paper are not exclusively shared by only the early Germanic and Mongolic peoples, but are common to other Central Eurasian daughter cultures, exemplifying the geographically far-reaching heritage of Christopher I. Beckwith’s (2009) ‘Central Eurasian Culture Complex’.
Abstract
This paper identifies connections among Central Eurasian cultural elements in the Old English epic Beowulf, the Mongolian epic tradition, and medieval Mongolian and earlier Central Eurasian history and folk beliefs. Focusing primarily on the representation of feasts and celebration-related customs and culture in Beowulf, the author identifies specific early Germanic cultural elements in this famous Old English epic which have plausible connections with Mongolia and other peoples of the eastern half of Central Eurasia. The author’s findings demonstrate that comparative studies of the epic traditions of early Germanic peoples and Mongolians may lead to the identification of shared cultural elements, some of which originate specifically from the earliest empire of Central Eurasia, the Scythian Empire. Many of the distinctive common cultural elements identified in this paper are not exclusively shared by only the early Germanic and Mongolic peoples, but are common to other Central Eurasian daughter cultures, exemplifying the geographically far-reaching heritage of Christopher I. Beckwith’s (2009) ‘Central Eurasian Culture Complex’.
