How long has grendel reign of terror lasted?
Grendel is a fictional character, a sort of humanoid Sea Monster in Beowulf- by the way the Hero"s name is pronounced Bay-Wolf, not Bay- uh- wolf as they had it in a recent movie . Means approximately Bear-Wolf. We are famiiar with animal trappings on say, Viking Helmets, right? Grendel was not a real personage.

What does a dragon do when it dies?
That depends on your meaning. If the dragon has transferred its consciousness into their eldunari, they will live on forever trapped in a little gem-like object unless it is destroyed. Awfully dull fate. They will suffer the loss of a functioning body. If you mean what the Rider does when their dragon dies, often times they will go mad or commit suicide out of grief. Vice versa with the Rider dying and their dragon surviving. Sometimes they still remain sane and continue to have a long life as in Brom's case. Brom was approximately 120-130 years old. Sometimes a Rider's dragon dies but the Eldunari lives on so they still have their dragon's company.
What does a menorah symbolize?
The Menorah originated in the Temple (Exodus ch.25). It was a seven-branched oil lamp that was lit every afternoon in the Temple by a Kohen.
The Hanukkah-menorah which we use these days has eight branches for the eight candles of Hanukkah, plus one for the helper-candle which is used to light the other candles.
Answer:
The eight candles symbolize the eight days of the Hanukkah-miracle. The candelabra (menorah) with its candles symbolizes the menorah in the Temple (Exodus ch.25). Here is the background:
The Seleucids (Syrian-Greeks) under Antiochus Epiphanes (2nd century BCE), at the instigation of the Hellenizers, had forbidden various Torah-practices such as Sabbath-observance and circumcision, rededicated the Temple to a Greek idol, and pressed the Jews to offer up sacrifices to the idol. One of the leading elder Jewish sages called upon the people to keep observing the Torah anyway; and if necessary, to use force in resisting the decrees. When a Hellenized Jew offered a sacrifice to the Greek idols in a nearby village, the sage killed him as well as the Greek overseer. This brought a violent reaction from the Greeks; and the loyal Jews, led by the Hasmonean family, were forced to retreat from their towns and strike out at the Greeks in an attempt to oust them from the Holy Land and to enable the people to once again observe the Torah. The Torah-Jews were heavily outnumbered by the attacking Greek armies, but God gave them miraculous victories again and again. After three years of struggle, the Greek armies retreated from Jerusalem, and the Hasmoneans (also called Maccabees) entered the Holy Temple which the Greeks had defiled, reconsecrated it to God, and began the Temple service once more. Among other things, they wanted to relight the olive oil candelabrum (Exodus ch. 25), but could only find one day's supply of undefiled oil - and it would take eight days to make and bring some more.
Miraculously, the menorah stayed lit for eight days (Talmud, Shabbat 21b), allowing enough time for new oil to be prepared and brought. The significance of the miracle is that it demonstrated that God's presence was still there. The Torah-community was overjoyed, because God's presence meant everything to them.
This is what Hanukkah represents: the closeness to God; and the avoidance of Hellenization (assimilation).
The Torah Sages instituted the festival of Hanukkah at that time (Talmud, Shabbat 21b), to publicize the miracle (Rashi commentary, ibid). This is why we light our Hanukkah-menorahs.
(The Hanukkah-menorah, or hanukkiyah, is a special form of the original seven-branched menorah. Our Hanukkah-menorahs have eight spaces for oil, or candles, to mark each of the eight days for which the oil lasted and a ninth to hold the shamash, a candle used to light the others.)
The Al-Hanisim prayer which we recite during Hanukkah centers around the Hasmoneans' victory and rededication of the Temple, while the candle-lighting commemorates the miracle of the oil.
Though the military victory is prominently mentioned in the prayers, it wouldn't have been celebrated if not for the miracle of the oil. It should also be noted that the main goal for which the Maccabees fought was not political independence. They fought to enable the people to observe the Torah's commandments; as we say in the Al Hanisim prayer: "the Greeks sought to cause us to forget Your Torah and leave Your statutes."

What degree would include study of both Christian and pagan religions?
Theology would cover those to religions and a few others.
AnswerSome kind of comparative religions degree. AnswerNone worth having a degree in. Probably the closest would be philosophy. Keep in mind that the only place you can get a job using a degree in philosphy is if that degree is a Phd, and the only place you will get paid to use that degree is in an educational institute. Since most colleges and universities already have someone teaching philosopy under some kind of contract it means that the odds of you getting such a job aren't very good. AnswerIt would be indeed a comparative religions degree. However, I from the way you phrase the question I daresay that you have no idea about what is a pagan religion. You seem to be identifying pagan with non-Christian.This is not true. A pagan religion is one that is based in the adoration and reverence of something or someone contained in creation (Most oriental religions). A non-Pagan religion is one based in the adoration of the Creator. (Most western religions).
This means that a comparative religions degree should cover pagan religions as well as Christianism, Judaism and Islam.
Answer
It depends upon the university. As mentioned above, you'd probably be pursuing a doctoral degree. The term you're looking for might be Phenomenology of Religion which can be pursued in some seminaries or in some universities' religion or philosophy departments. Phenomenology goes deeper than simply comparing different religious doctrines. Such a study can be pursued from either a secular angle, from a religious (including evangelical Christian) viewpoint, or from an agnostic viewpoint. However, wherever you start, you need to try to have a sympathy for the aspirations and felt hungers of all who claim to be human.

There are many things that can motivate people. People who tell someone that they can't do something will often motivate the person to succeed.
Odin was the chief god of the German tribes, at a time when the Abrahamic God was not recognised by his followers. Odin would have been amused by the claims of Christianity, but he was not considered a Christian.
