	Beowulf
		In Heorot, Hrothgar and his thanes had finished their joyful feast, before they had retired for the night.
		Near Heorot, there was a fen where a sinister creature, which the Danes know as Grendel, dwelled at the bottom of the lake.
		In Heorot, Hrothgar and his subjects were wakened from titanic struggle between the Geatish hero and the monster, found Beowulf holding Grendel's missing arm as prove of his victory.

	UW Beowulf Cluster
		Heorot, a Beowulf-class cluster computer, was recently installed at UW with funding from the Northern Rockies Regional Biomedical Research Infrastructure Network (BRIN).
		Heorot (or Herot) is described in Beowulf as “a mead-hall, the greatest the world had ever seen, or even imagined.” It was built by Hrothgar, King of the Danes, and is the scene of Beowulf’s epic battle with the monster Grendel.
		Beowulf-class computers are used in a variety of application environments where high-performance computing is needed; the goal in creating Heorot is to provide such computing capacity at UW in support of the bioinformatics core of BRIN.

	The Anglo-Saxon Cain
		Cain is a trope, a figure used to provide an atmosphere that underscores the tensions surrounding Heorot and the history of the Scyldings.
		Contrasted with Cain’s crime, for which he is forever exiled, and with Grendel’s rampage at Heorot (and his refusal to conclude the feud according to custom), neither of which can be repaired, Adam and Eve's sin is naive rather than inhumane and destructive.
		The creation of Heorot is mirrored, in the scop's song, with the first Creation, and its undoing, not by Adam and Eve, but by Cain.

		This is shown in the irony of Grendel's incessant returns to the hall, where, notwithstanding his slaughter of the cowardly and ineffectual Danes, he inexplicably omits to destroy Heorot itself, which clearly represents the human fraternity and heavenly beneficence he longs for.
		But critics, content to divide the Denmark of Beowulf into the known, hospitable world of Heorot and the dark, unfriendly wilderness beyond its bounds, afford no place for the morally ambiguous borderland of fens and moors with which Grendel, the banished thane who both gravitates to and is repelled from Heorot, is so closely associated.
		A close look at the monster's landscape shows that Grendel is not anathema to the mead-hall, but a pitiful, solitary warrior who performs much the same role as the Wanderer, valorizing the hall by demonstrating the dangers contingent on its loss.

	11ch3 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The name of the building, Heorot or "hart," suggests that we see the hall as analogous to the animal; in addition, it is quite literally a bansele or "bone-hall" because it is banfag, "adorned with bone" (780), most likely a reference to its being decorated or marked with a stag's antlers.
		4 As a dwelling-place for human beings, Heorot is also a metaphor for the world, an equivalence emphasized by the poet's linking of the building of the hall to God's creation of the world in the first song the scop sings in the new hall.
		He comes to Heorot, a hall built to be a place of feasting, in order to feast himself on the sleeping warriors.

	EB on Beowulf
		It opens in Denmark, where King Hrothgar's splendid mead hall, Heorot, has been ravaged for 12 years by nightly visits from an evil monster, Grendel, who carries off Hrothgar's warriors and devours them.
		The King is astonished at the little-known hero's daring but welcomes him, and after an evening of feasting, much courtesy, and some discourtesy, the King retires, leaving Beowulf in charge.
		In the second part the movement is slow and funereal; scenes from Beowulf's youth are replayed in a minor key as a counterpoint to his last battle, and the mood becomes increasingly sombre as the wyrd (fate) that comes to all men closes in on him.

		Stan, the owner of the Heorot, had been along on the World Class Beverages trip to Michigan and we got to talking, namely about his beer cellar.
		But unfortunately, the Heorot doesn't quite have the same rate of consumption that a pub in the Altstadt in Dusseldorf has and this has created problems for their cask of Uerige (pronounced in three syllables sort of like ur-ee-ga).
		Such is the case with the other (yes, they have two!) gravity cask on the bar at the Heorot right now: JW Lee's port barrel aged Harvest Ale.

		The road lead straight to Heorot, which turned out to be circled by a wooden palisade that Zorikh hadn’t seen from afar.

		Bass must have seen him staring nervously at the great arched doorway of Heorot because he immediately said, “There is no danger in the day friend, but it would be wiser to await the king elsewhere.

		For the first time that bitterly cold winter, Heorot was bright again, ringing with song and a king's gratitude to the hero.
		The very night he came to Heorot with his fourteen companions he swaggered so hard that narrow-eyed Unferth, the most cunning of the Scylding thanes, tried to take him down a peg.

		These halls were constantly in use, variously as an eating place, a council chamber, a social hall, and a barracks for the unmarried warriors.
		The name of this hall, Heorot, means hart, a male deer.
		The hart was a symbol of pre-Christian Anglo-Saxon kingship, probably connoting power and nobility, but was taken over into Germanic Christian iconography as a symbol of Christ (photo).

		An Amber setting based around Heorot, the mead hall in Beowulf.
		This Amber would have an early Anglo-Saxon feel with the elders and common-people alike meeting each night to drink in the great mead hall, Heorot.
		Of course, what I'm thinking about is an Amber retelling of the Grendel attack with Grendel as a creature that lives somewhere off in shadow and kills the people in Heorot and drags the dead off to his cave (and his mother) somewhere in shadow.

	Amazon.com: Beowulf's Children: Books (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The sequel to The Legacy of the Heorot, Beowulf's Children continues its predecessor's tradition of lively action and an extremely rich universe for it to interact in.
		However, whereas "Legacy of Heorot" was a fast-paced and horrifically engaging monster thriller, its sequel is a gentler, more meandering story that focuses primarily on the conflicts and ambitions of the human colonists of Avalon, with the Grendels and the other dangerous Avalonian lifeforms taking something of a back seat.
		I found the fate of the main human antagonist to be particularly disappointing and unbelievable, but all in all, having read "Heorot" beforehand, I think "Beowulf's Children" was a nice return safari through the wilds of an alien world that is as well designed and as interestingly executed as any in science fiction.
