Anglosaxon and latin
The story upon which Beowulf is based had its origins in the Norse and Anglo-Saxon traditions. It combines elements of both cultures, blending Norse mythology with Anglo-Saxon history and heroic ideals.
Beowulf is generally considered to emphasize the relationship in Anglo-Saxon society between a lord and his thanes - that is, the people who serve him as 'companions'.

This is actually an area of intense interest and study for me, and has been for some time. Norse and Celtic myths and legends meet and mingle during a special time in the history of the Anglo-Saxons. Beowulf, the Arthurian legends, the Anglo-Saxon Futhork, all blend elements of both. It is an example of what we call "syncretism" when various religious beliefs and traditions co-mingle along with their parent cultures to create a new form of belief and practice. This "syncratism" of Celtic and Norse traditions is reflected in Beowulf.
