Answer 1

The answer to the question is what literary technique has the poet used in the underlined words?  

To many it seemed the wolf-of-the-waves had won his life is  C. Kenning.

Kennings are compound, descriptive phrases that have metaphorical meanings and that are used to replace ordinary nouns and proper nouns.

In  Beowulf, "the wolf-of-the-waves" actually refers to Grendel's mother.
