How long did the dragon in Beowulf live in peace among the geats?
He was there when the poem was first written and he is still there now. He comes along in about the last third of the poem.
Why is it ironic that after his death the Geats build a tower to memorialize Beowulf?
Its irony lies in the fact that most of the Geats had deserted Beowulf in battle. The Geats resolve did not hold in the heat of battle because they feared death, and the Dragon. Beowulf recalls his long reign over the Geats: he's been king for fifty years, and all the neighboring kings were too afraid to attack or challenge him. He also behaved honestly and justly, which makes him feel a little better, because he knows that God won't be angry with him in the afterlife.

His epic example of heroic ideals earned him the praise:...that no better king had everLive, no prince so mild, no manSo open to his people, so deserving of praise.
