Hebrews, Israelites, and Wicked Jews: An Onomastic Crux in ‘Andreas’ 161-67
View through CrossRef
In the Old English poem Andreas, the narrative begins with the imprisonment and suffering of Matthew, who is blinded and forced to drink a magic potion which is intended to reduce him to bestiality. This drink, which literarily is directly descended from Circe's potion, fails to be effective in this case, and Matthew prays to God for help in his affliction. God responds directly and tells Matthew that He will bring help. God's help is mediated by the apostle Andrew, and immediately before God summons Andrew He is apostrophized in the following passage:
þa w æs gemyndig, se Ðe middangeardgestaÐelode strangum mihtum.hu he in ellþeodigum yrmÐum wunodebelocen leoÐubendum, þe oft his lufan adregfor Ebreum ond Israhelum,swylce he Iudea galdorcræftumwiÐstod stranglice.1
