    But maybe that’s not what you meant.

    yeah i meant it was an oral tradition among the early medieval anglo saxon peoples who originally recited it. Meaning it was memorized and sung for a long time before being written down by someone literate.

    i think the confusion stemmed from the fact that I said "reciting" in the present tense when I meant to say it in the past tense.
