2. Trashing cultures is NOT permitted.
3. Insults are NOT permitted to either figure.
4. Fanboy/girl is NOT allowed.
5. Insults during discussion IS not allowed.

Discuss the battle between the two heroes.

beowulf and achiles are dumb and are from dumb cultures

1)Beowulf was better than Pitt's Troy
2)Norse are better than pedo-greeks
3)Achilles was likely a pansy-boy
4)Beowulf wins cos I love the stoty more!
5)You're probably a homo too

I said NO insults. Civilized discussion ONLY.

then don't pick stupid characters from crappy books

Stupid characters huh? Then why are both considered one of the strongest mythological heroes? Both have inspired numerous novels. Norse mythology inspired LOTR. Remember NO insults. It shows that you cannot have a civil discussion, or you simply don't care.

which do you think?

Achilles, beucase I like him more lol. He is the son of a goddess after all.

If Statius' inclusions are allowed, then Achilles will always win.

Other than that, how the frig do you discuss this?

Burn a copy of each book, the one that last longest wins.
