Judith

Poetic techniques

Judith contains many of the poetic techniques common to Old English poetry, including alliteration. The poem used the same kind of variation as do other Old English poems. An example is found in the description of God, who at various times is referred to as 'ælmihtigan' (the Almighty), 'mihtig Dryhten' (mighty Lord) and 'Scyppende' (Creator).[3]
