Such texts as the African epic Mwindo , the Hindu Ramayana and Mahabharata , the Irish Tain , the Hopi The Fourth World of the Hopis .

Extractions: The Grail Quest The early Christian Church had a penchant for taking the established folklore of a society and assimilating it into a new Christian dogma, painting over the old pagan character in broad strokes. If one looks for it, however, the origins of Medieval Christian stories can by located fairly easily. The 13th-century French writer Chretien de Troyes first introduced the Grail Quest in the form in which we know it today: the story of how virtuous Christian knights such as Percival and Galahad set forth to find the Holy Grail, the chalice used by Jesus Christ at the Last Supper. It was further hallowed by catching a few drops of the Son of Man's blood during his crucifixion, and later brought to England (as luck would have it) by Joseph of Arimathea. In the medieval romance, only Galahad, the purest and best of the knights, possessed the grace to actually achieve the Grail. However, this sublime Christian myth has much older roots amid the ancient Celtic tradition.

Was Arthur in fact a true historical figure, or only a hero of lengend and stories?

http://www.lugodoc.demon.co.uk/MYTH/MYTH01.HTM

Extractions: Through a monstrous perversion of the Bard's art, Lugodoc has reduced the entire canon of Celtic myth into bite-sized chunks, easily digested by today's 3-minute attention spanned video game-addicted goldfish-minded web-surfing generation. This is not a telling of Celtic myth, only a map. Chronological sense is maintained except where this would ruin the flow of the Celtic knot of interweaving stories. Try too hard to put these in proper order and you will go mad. Myth is not history. Some stories appear under their traditional titles, some I have had to make up. Some things in it are devilish lies, and some poetical figments; some seem possible and others not; some are for the enjoyment of idiots. There are two main cannons of myth, Irish and Welsh The oldest of these stories were composed in the pagan Celtic iron age of Ireland, possibly as early as 300 BC, and passed on in the druidic oral tradition until the coming of Christianity and the decay of the druidic priesthood in the 5th century AD. The stories were then passed on by wandering bards, added to and bits lost, until the first scraps were first written down in a highly confused order with odd legal and historical notes on cow-hides by early Irish Christian monks in the 7th century. The oral tradition continued to grow and mutate, monks kept writing them down, and manuscripts were copied and then lost. These myths are scattered about in several still extant ancient Irish manuscripts written by Christian monks between the 12th and 14th centuries AD, such as The Book of the Dun Cow (LU), The Book of Leinster (LL) and The Yellow Book of Lecan (YBL). Some were written as late as the 18th century. The original pagan myths therefore suffer from varying degrees of Christian contamination.

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.

Extractions: ARTHUR AND MEDIEVAL WELSH MYTHOLOGY Module Director : Dr. Margaret Tilsley Introduction and Course Aims The Arthurian Collection Course Content Bibliography ... Return to Welsh Studies Home Page Introduction and Course Aims This course is a one semester module in Welsh Studies as a Minor and Joint subject within the B.A. Humanities scheme. It seeks to demonstrate the role of myths and legends, particularly those concerning Arthur, in the development of the Welsh identity during the late Middle Ages and early modern period and to explain the entry of Arthur into the European mythological and literary tradition. The importance of Old Celtic mythology in the evolution of these myths is discussed, together with the ways in which that mythology was passed on to subsequent generations. Key Welsh texts such as The Mabinogion are studied in translation, with emphasis on those tales relating to Arthur, and references are also made to other texts such as Geoffrey of Monmouth's History of the Kings of Britain and Arthurian texts in English and other European languages. The course also addresses the issue of Arthur as a historical personage and the way in which he developed as a myth: for the Welsh in early imaginative literature, for the Normans, the French and other European peoples, for the Tudors in England and also as a myth in modern times, in the Victorian Age and in the present day. Students will be encouraged to interpret the myths in the light of contemporary conditions and circumstances and to account for the continuing importance of medieval myths and legends to the present day.

Extractions: This material has been supplied by students through the class listserv. Please send an introductory message of your own to the class via this listserv: engl-w18@calvin.edu. I got back from class and decided to take a minute and tell you about myself. First of all, I come from Windsor Castle (actually Windsor Ontario), and this is my second year here. I have not picked a major yet, but I have been taking a few physics courses, and plan on taking a few courses in engineering and computer science. I like to participate in battles on ice with sticks and pucks, and also on boards with 64 squares where I control the moves of knights and kings and queens. The reason I took this class is that I've been interested in Arthurian legend and thought it would be neat to find out some truth behind it. That's about all I have to say about myself.
