Answer:

These lines show that an epic hero respected by Anglo-Saxons has: nobility, humility, cunning, wisdom, strength, strength, loyalty, masculinity, wit and honor. All these values are respected today, because they have revised the characteristics that good citizens must possess.

Step-by-step explanation:

As you may already know, Beowulf is an epic Anglo-Saxon hero. Like all epic heroes he has characteristics that represented the characteristics respected and desired by the Anglo-Saxon people. For these people, a hero should have nobility, humility, cunning, wisdom, strength, strength, loyalty, masculinity, wit and honor.

These characteristics demonstrate what a good person should be and this concept has passed through the centuries, reaching the present day, where praiseworthy and desirable characteristics are still considered in every citizen.
