Best Answer

Writer: Solomon

Place Written: Jerusalem

Writing Completed: c. 1020 B.C.E.

The poem was composed when Solomon had 60 queens and 80 concubines. This points to the earlier part of his 40-year reign (1037-998 B.C.E.), since Solomon finally came to have 700 wives and 300 concubines.-1Ki 11:3.

Is Beowulf more barbaric than the Song of Roland?

First, it depends on what you mean by Barbaric. Beowulf takes place in a Germanic society in the fifth century, which post the fall of Rome was defined by its Warrior culture. Its important to also take note though that most of the battles in Beowulf are not against other humans, but against monsters like Grendel, Grendel's mother, and a dragon. Identity in Beowulf is determined by one's list of heroic deeds, who and how many people they have killed. But in Roland's time, identity is determined by feudalism, and who one is a vassal to, seemingly much less Barbaric. In the Song of Roland, the violence is religiously motivated and takes place between people because of their different beliefs. The battles between the Christians and Muslims in Roland amass many more deaths. While Beowulf takes place in a Barbaric society, Roland, in my opinion is much more Barbaric.
