    Extractions: Return to the Main Menu of The Camelot Project at the University of Rochester Morgan le Fay is, in Malory's Morte d'Arthur, Arthur's half sister, the daughter of Arthur's mother Igraine and her first husband, the Duke of Cornwall. She is also presented as an adversary of Arthur's: she gives Excalibur to her lover Accolon so he can use it against Arthur (a story retold in Madison J. Cawein's poem "Accolon of Gaul" ) and, when that plot fails, she steals the scabbard of Excalibur which protects Arthur and throws it into a lake. In Sir Gawain and the Green Knight she is presented as the instigator of the Green Knight's visit to Arthur's court, partly motivated by her desire to frighten Guinevere . Her enmity towards Guinevere has its origin in the Vulgate Lancelot , where Morgan is having an affair with Guiomar, Guinevere's cousin, and Guinevere puts an end to it. Despite the motif of Morgan's enmity towards Arthur and Guinevere, she is also presented as one of the women who takes Arthur in a barge to Avalon to be healed. This view of Morgan as healer has its roots in the earliest accounts of her and perhaps to her origin in Celtic mythology. In the Vita Merlini (c. 1150) Morgan is said to be the first of nine sisters who rule The Fortunate Isle or the Isle of Apples and is presented as a healer as well as a shape-changer. It is to this island that Arthur is brought (though Morgan awaits him and heals him rather than actually fetching him herself). Morgan proclaims that she can heal Arthur if he stays with her for a long time. Morgan is also said to be the wife of King Uriens and the mother of

68. Mystical-WWW - King Arthur Fact, Semi-legend Or Myth?, Part 1
    personages can be seen to have very close similarities to those portrayed inArthurian legend, as earlier known in Brythonic (British) Kelt mythology.  
    http://www.mystical-www.co.uk/king_arthur/1.htm
    
    Extractions: The existence of Arthur as an historical figure can be traced back to only three written texts/books; 'The History of the Britons' Written in Latin, but unfortunately written approximately three hundred years after the death of Arthur, in c.AD537, is supposed to have occurred: 'Then the warrior Arthur, with the soldiers and kings of Britain used to fight against the Saxons, and though there were many of more noble birth than he, he was twelve times leader of war and victor of the battles.' This book also refers to the 'Battle of Badon': 'The twelfth battle was on Badon Hill and in it 960 men fell in one day from a single charge of Arthur's, and no one laid them low 'cept for he alone, and he was victorious in all his campaigns.' (Extracts from - History of the Britons) 'De excido et conqeustu Britannae', The Ruin and Conquest of Britain Written by 'Gildas' (See Gildas 29 January , (c.AD500-570), of the early Celtic Church. It is suggested that this book may possibly have been written during Arthur's own lifetime, but it does not mention Arthur at all, the reason for which is a subject of much debate. It does however mention the victorious 'Battle of Badon' referred to in The History of the Britons. There are many reasons given for Gildas omitting Arthur but it is one sentence alone that links the two books together: 'From then on victory went now to our countrymen, now to their enemies. This lasted right up to the siege of Badon Hill.'

    Extractions: An ancient town in Somerset. It is fabled to be the place where Joseph of Arimathea brought the Christian faith to Britain, and the Holy Grail, in the year 63 AD. It is also here that King Henry II, who claimed descent from Arthur, identified a tomb, in which a cross inscribed “Here lies buried the renowned King Arthur in the Isle of Avalon” was found, as that of Arthur. He supposedly lived about 470 AD. He was a Welsh bard who entered the service of Arthur during the Saxon invasion. He went mad after watching a horrible battle near Solway. Thereafter he lived in caves, singing to himself. He was known as a poet and a prophet as well as a magician. He is said to have been the son of a fierce demon and a Welsh princess. Merlin, the magician, created it. According to legend, it was made of marble, but it could be folded magically and carried in a coat pocket. It was round so that no one could argue over the order in which Arthur’s knights should be seated. It seated 150 knights, and one extra place was left in it for the Sangrail, the founder of the Holy Grail.

    http://users.northnet.com.au/~smasson/essays/King Arthur.htm
    
    Extractions: The Age of Arthur Arthur, the great King of the West, never truly died, the legends tell us, because at the end of his time, after the Last Battle, he was rowed by four otherwordly Queens across the water to the island of Avalon. Avalon: the Celtic derivation of the name means 'island of apples', for appletrees, the tree of knowledge and of eternal life, are symbols of the Otherworld. And then again some stories tell us that Arthur and his knights are sleeping in a crystal cave somewhere, awaiting their return to arms. Many times, over the centuries, Arthur has rowed back from Avalon and risen from his crystal bed. Many times, since the stories first began to gain wide currency, in the fifth century, after the fall of Rome and the withdrawal of the legions from the western provinces of the Empire, many times has Arthur been re-enthroned in Camelot. The Arthurian mythos, above and beyond all others, is THE defining symbol and legend of the West. In it, as in a crucible, are all the strange and beautiful, terrifying and magical complexities of this thing we call Western culture: which has been created out of an ancient Indo-European base, steeped in the savagery of the steppes, sifted through the prisms of a dozen or more warrior cultures, scented with the beauties of dozens of ancient languages and belief systems, all over Europe. And out of that crucible has emerged this extraordinarily enduring myth, those shape-shifting, thrilling figures that are Arthur and Guinevere and Merlin and Morgan, and all the knights and heroes and otherwordly women that people the stories.

77. Exodus To Arthur
    The Arthur part of the title comes, naturally, from an investigationof the history/mythology surrounding Arthur, king of the Britons.  
    http://www.szoraster.com/Science/Exodus to Arthur.htm
    
    Extractions: A Review of Exodus to Arthur; Catastrophic Encounters with Comets by Mike Baillie ISBN 7134 8352 Steven Zoraster Exodus to Arthur , as the author presents his own efforts to find a single explanation for all of these events. Professor Baillie uses as evidence historical records left by - among others - the authors of the Old Testament; Anglo-Saxon, Irish, Roman, Greek, Chinese and Mayan writers and story-tellers; archeological evidence including boats and trees recovered from Irish bogs; well preserved building timbers from long abandoned Anasazi pueblos in Utah; and other scientific techniques such as radiocarbon dating. Why is the book titled " Exodus to Arthur? But what about those three other environmental catastrophes identified by Professor Baillie? Well, he has to go a little further afield to set those events in a convincing historical context, and does so with enthusiasm. So the reader will learn something about the fall of two Chinese dynasties, uncertainty in the dating of the "New Kingdom" in ancient Egypt, why the Romans brought a meteorite representing the Oriental goddess Cybele to Rome around 205 BC, and the reason almost all cultures in both the old world and the new world have legends about dragons. (Along the way, the reader is also reminded that the name of King Arthur's father was Uther Pen dragon This book is one of many recently published books by scientists on "catastrophe theory" which are aimed at popular instead of scientifically trained audiences.

    http://tlc.discovery.com/convergence/arthur/article/selfhelp.html
    
    Extractions: June 07, 2004 EDT OAS_RICH("hedthick"); Arthurian Self-Help Round Table So the romantic stories of the shining medieval king with his loyal knights of the Round Table, Camelot and Merlin are much more fiction than fact. Does the myth of King Arthur hold any relevance for us today? Can we glean from these tall tales any wisdom that would be useful in the modern world? Joseph Campbell thought so. Joseph Campbell (1904-1987) was an American scholar and philosopher best known for his work in the field of comparative mythology. Born in New York City, Campbell was educated at Columbia University. He specialized in medieval literature and, after earning a master's degree, continued his studies at the universities of Paris and Munich. While abroad he was influenced by the art of Pablo Picasso and Henri Matisse, the psychological studies of Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung, and the novels of James Joyce and Thomas Mann. These encounters led to Campbell's theory that all myths are linked in that they are cultural expressions of the universal need of the human psyche to explain social, cosmological and spiritual realities. Campbell got his inspirational start while working through the King Arthur stories as a student of English literature. He discovered that many themes in Arthurian legend resembled the basic motifs in American Indian folklore. This led to his first original work

    http://www.academychicago.com/celtic.html
    
    Extractions: Roger Sherman Loomis King Arthur was not an Englishman, but a Celtic warrior, according to Roger Sherman Loomis, whose special research into the background of the Arthurian legend has revealed findings which are both illuminating and highly controversial. The author sees the vegetation goddess as the prototype of many damsels in Arthurian romance, and Arthur's knights are the gods of sun and storm. And Guenivere is the leading lady in a nature myth which her son Mordred plays the part of the Irish god Mider. Arthur himself is another form of the Maimed King, embodiment of the enfeebled forces of Nature awaiting spring. If Loomis's arguments are accepted, where does this leave the historic Arthur? Was Arthur a god from the beginning? It's probable that Arthur began as a historical figure, grew in stature in Welsh, Dumnonian and Breton myth and completed his ultimate persona by reigning supreme in European romance. Buy it!
