This arbitrative man draws many parallels to the traits and life of Wiglaf. It could be said that The Seafarer is an epilogue or continuation to Beowulf. The story of Beowulf is the “high-point” of warriors; it is the model of the Anglo-Saxon morals and traditions. The Seafarer takes place after that is gone, and the only surviving hero is Wiglaf.

Lastly, in the battle with the dragon Beowulf know it will be a hard fight and he is prepared to die, because he is aware that the comitatus of his men is nearly gone. Beowulf states in his last formal boast "I shall win the gold/ by my courage, or else mortal combat,/ doom of battle, will bear your lord away."

Again, Odysseus shows tremendous leadership when he and his men arrive to a land where they do not know of and Odysseus immediately takes charge. “Peremides, we have no choice.

The ritual of storytelling provided health, history, and social cohesion within the tribe and surrounding Native American villages. The stories told by the storyteller were meant to be enjoyed as an oral performance; many of these stories have been translated and written down for other cultures to enjoy. However, even the best translation loses the richness of the performance done during the storytelling by the storyteller.
