The word '''Ofermod''' occurs in the the epic story [[Battle of Maldon|Maldon]], and describes the state of mind of Beorthnoth's when he allowed the Vikings free passage. [[J.R.R. Tolkien]] had great influence over the understanding of this term, which originally was thought to mean "spirit", or that Beorthnoth had spirit, but now is thought to perhaps mean excessive spirit, as in foodhardiness.<ref>{{cite web|last=Abrahamsen|first=Rico Marcel|year=May 15th, 2003|url=http://valarguild.org/varda/Tolkien/encyc/papers/dreamlord/stages/ofermod.htm| title=Ofermod as Tragic Motif|format=HTML|work = valarguard.org|accessdate=2006-03-13}}</ref> |
