What is the title of the anonymous Anglo-Saxon poem?

Inferno
Beowulf
Oedipus Rex
The Divine Comedy

The correct answer is: Beowulf

Beowulf is the title of the anonymous Anglo-Saxon poem. This epic poem is an example of Old English literature and tells the story of a great warrior named Beowulf who battles against various monsters. Inferno is the first part of Italian poet Dante Alighieri's epic poem The Divine Comedy, and it describes Dante's journey through hell. Oedipus Rex is a Greek tragedy play written by Sophocles, and it tells the story of Oedipus, who inadvertently fulfills a prophecy that he will murder his father and marry his mother. Therefore, it is not the title of the anonymous Anglo-Saxon poem. The Divine Comedy is a three-part epic poem by Dante Alighieri and the title is not related to the Anglo-Saxon poem.
