from Beowulf can a pagan
influence best be inferred?

“… protected by God –
God,/Whose love Grendel
could not know…”
“…And sometimes they
sacrificed to the old stone
gods,/Made heathen
vows…”
“…rise to God, drop
off/Their dead bodies, and
seek our Father’s peace!”
“… How the monster
relished his savage
war/On the Danes…”

The excerpt "And sometimes they sacrificed to the old stone gods, Made heathen vows..." best reflects a pagan influence as it refers to sacrificing to old stone gods and making heathen vows.
