The term "sea-paths" is considered kenning since it is a phrase used to replace the word ocean in the epic poem Beowulf. The reason this is done is because a path refers to a road which is frequently traveled and roads usually represent a journey of some sort which is often a struggle. Therefore, Beowulf goes through his journey of swimming through the ocean currents in order to reach his destination.
