Well yeah, sorta.  But you may watch their performances (and
alterations
if you like).  I haven't looked it up, but Beowulf, IIRC, was an old
Viking
tale from maybe the 600s AD, and was told verbally through the
centuries,
till it was written down in around 1100 AD.  It is also the oldest
existing
writing in literarture that was written in English (Old English), IIRC.
I oughtta look it up and see how off my memory is.....but I think I've
got it about right.
