(es) Ecgþēow (pronounced [ˈedʒðeːow]), Edgetho (Proto-Norse *Agiþewaz), or Ecgtheow is a character in the Anglo-Saxon epic Beowulf. He is not mentioned outside the Bēowulf manuscript, and it is not known whether he was based on a real person. He belonged to a probably Swedish family (an ätt, see Norse clans) called the Waegmundings. He married the daughter of Hreðel, king of the Geats, and was the father of Bēowulf. His name could be read as eċġ + þēow, "edge-servant" (that is, sword-thane); alternatively, if his name was a compound of the ancient bahuvrihi type as were many other Germanic heroic names, it would indicate proficiency with the sword, meaning literally, "whose servant is the sword". He is first mentioned in Bēowulf at lines 262–266, when Beowulf tells the coast-guardian that "My father was known to everyone," calls him a "noble battle-leader", and says that he died after living through "many winters" and that he is remembered well by wise men everywhere. At lines 372–375, Hrōðgār, the Danish king, recalls Ecgþeow, remembering that he married King Hreðel's only daughter. At lines 456–472, Hrōðgār recalls the story of how Ecgþēow once came to him for help: he had slain Heaðolaf, a man from another tribe called the Wulfings (probably the rulers of the East Geats). One of the Germanic ways of resolving a blood feud was either to pay a wergild (Anglo-Saxon, "man-price") or to be banished. Either Ecgþēow's people could not pay a wergild, or the Wulfings refused to accept it from them; so Ecgþeow had to leave home. He went to Dane-Land; Hrōðgār paid the wergild, and Ecgþeow swore oaths of friendship to him. The Wulfings were probably the same as the Wylfings mentioned in Widsith, and according to Widsith one of their lords was Helm. Hroðgar married Wealhþeow, a Helming lady, who thus likely belonged to the Wulfings, and this may explain why Ecgþeow went to Dane-Land particularly. Hroðgar may have been able to use his family ties to persuade the Wulfings to accept the wergild and end the feud. Hrōðgār interprets Beowulf's journey as a son's gratitude for what Hrōðgār had done for Beowulf's father. At lines 2428–2429 we learn that the young Bēowulf was fostered and raised in the home of Hreðel starting when he was seven years old; Ecgþēow may have died by then, or the family may just have been following a custom. At lines 2813–2815 we learn that the thane Wiglaf is a Waegmunding; therefore his father Weohstan was in some way related to Ecgþeow. (en) Ecgþeow, o Edgetho (proto-norreno *Agiþewaz), (... – 502 circa), è stato un condottiero sueone, del clan dei Wægmunding, padre del leggendario Beowulf. Non è menzionato da nessuna parte al di fuori del poema epico anglosassone Beowulf e non si sa se sia basato su una persona esistita realmente. Sposò la figlia di Hreðel, re dei Geati. Il suo nome potrebbe essere letto come ecg + þeow, "servo della lama" (cioè thane della spada); oppure, se il suo nome fosse un composto del tipo bahuvrihi come molti altri nomi di eroi germanici, indicherebbe perizia con la spada, avendo il significato letterale di "la cui serva è la lama". È menzionato per la prima volta nel Beowulf nei versi 262-266, quando Beowulf dice al guardiano della costa che "Mio padre era noto a tutti quanti", lo chiama "nobile condottiero" e dice che morì dopo aver vissuto "molti inverni" e che è ricordato ovunque dagli uomini saggi. Nei versi 372-375, Hroðgar, il re danese, parla di Ecgþeow, ricordando che sposò l'unica figlia femmina di re Hreðel. Ai versi 456-472, Hroðgar racconta la storia di come Ecgþeow una volta giunse a chiedergli aiuto: aveva ucciso Heaðolaf, un uomo di un altro clan chiamato i Wulfing (è probabile che siano i leader dell'Östergötland). Uno dei modi dei Germani di risolvere una faida di sangue era di pagare un guidrigildo o di essere bandito. La gente di Ecgþeow non poteva pagare un guidrigildo, oppure i Wulfing lo rifiutarono; perciò Ecgþeow fu costretto ad andarsene dalla sua terra. Andò nella terra dei Danesi; Hroðgar pagò il guidrigildo, ed Ecgþeow fece un giuramento di amicizia con lui. I Wulfing sono probabilmente i Wylfing menzionati nel Widsith, e secondo il Widsith uno dei suoi condottieri era Helm. Hroðgar sposò Wealhþeow, una Helming, che perciò è probabile che appartenesse ai Wulfing, e questo può spiegare perché Ecgþeow si recò proprio in Danimarca. Hroðgar poteva essere capace di sfruttare i suoi legami familiari per persuadere i Wulfing ad accettare il guidrigildo e far cessare la faida. Hroðgar interpreta il viaggio di Beowulf come il ringraziamento del figlio per quello che Hroðgar aveva fatto al padre. Ai versi 2428-2429 apprendiamo che il giovane Beowulf fu allevato e cresciuto in casa di Hreðel a partire dagli otto anni di età; presumibilmente Ecgþeow morì quando Beowulf aveva sette anni. Come era morto Ecgþeow non è detto. Ai versi 2813-2815 apprendiamo che il thane Wiglaf è un Waegmunding; perciò suo padre Weohstan doveva essere in qualche modo imparentato con Ecgþeow. (it) Эггтеов — персонаж англосаксонского эпоса «Беовульф». Упоминается только в этом произведении, вопрос о наличии у него исторического прототипа является открытым. Согласно поэме, Эггтеов принадлежал к свейской династии Вагмундингов, был женат на дочери короля гётов Хигелака, которая родила ему сына Беовульфа. Он убил воина по имени Хадолаф и был вынужден искать убежища у данов. Местный король Хродгар выплатил вергельд за убитого и искупил таким образом вину Эггтеова. Впоследствии, когда Беовульф решил разделаться с Гренделем, Хродгар интерпретировал это как выражение благодарности героя за отца. (ru) |
