There are several allusions that are found in Beowulf, however most of them are Biblical. One important example that is found at the beginning of the poem is the allusion to Cain and Abel who were sons of Adam and Eve. Grendel and his "family" are said to be descendants from Cain because of the grave sin he commited when he killed his brother (Abel).
