Why weren't the warriors as frightened by grendel's mother as by grendel?

I believe the answer is: The warriors weren't scared because they didn't think that a woman could fight with as much strength, power and courage that men fight with.

The warriors did not know that Grendel's mother is giant man-eating humanoid beast who could devoured several men in one single day ,  posses superhuman strength and her body is basically impenetrable by weapons. when the warriors realized it they're too late.
