The Pendragon Cycle, Stephen Lawhead's retelling of the myths of King Arthur, was his break-through as a major fantasy writer. Telling a story that has already been told thousands of times is at the same time easy and difficult. Easy - because both author and readers already know the setting, the story and the major characters, and love them. Difficult - because almost every angle has already been looked upon, the story deconstructed, the characters redefined. It's hard to find something distinctly new and refreshing to add to it, but I must say that Stephen Lawhead has done a brave try. "Taliesin", the first book in the series, takes place several hundred years before Arthur is born. In Gwynedd, Elphin, Lord Gwyddno's only son, is considered bad luck for everyone who comes close to him. Everything goes bad for him - until the morning when he finds a strange fish in his weir. An infant, a boy who the druids tell will be the greatest of all druids: Taliesin. In Atlantis, Charis is a young girl who sees her mother being butchered in the prologue to a bloody civil war. Soon she runs away to return several years later with a message to her family: the end is near, Atlantis is doomed and they have to flee for their life. They escape, and after a while finds a new land: Britain.

26. Orkneyjar - Orkney And The Arthurian Legends
There is one corpus of myth surrounding Orkney that most inhabitants of the one in a long line of retellings and adaptation of the arthurian mythology.
http://www.orkneyjar.com/tradition/kingarthur.htm
Home About Orkney History Tradition ... Awards Orkney and the Arthurian Legends The Sword and the Stones - 'Excalibur' at the Ring o' Brodgar' There is one corpus of myth surrounding Orkney that most inhabitants of the island are generally ignorant of. But this body of lore, although having Orkney at its centre, is not found in any shape or form within the culture or traditions of the islands. It surprises many to learn of the role played by Orkney in the legends and literature of King Arthur, the legendary British king who is supposed to have held back the Saxon advances in the sixth century AD. At the core of the Arthurian mythos is a group of characters known as the Orkney Clan - King Lot of Orkney and his sons,Gawain, Gaheris, Gareth, and Agravaine. Arthur's sister Morgause was married to King Lot. Before we look at the origin of this material, we should recap the tale of King Arthur - a story of magic, chivalry and betrayal. The main Arthurian tale is well known - how the boy Arthur draws the sword from the stone to become king; how he sets up the fabled Round Table in Camelot and receives the magical sword Excalibur. Arthur's downfall is ultimately brought about by his son, Mordred, a child he fathered on his own sister, Morgause of Orkney.

Chapter One
THE TOR The myths associated with Glastonbury Tor are extraordinary. It has been called a magic mountain, a faeries' glass hill, a spiral castle, a Grail castle, the Land of the Dead, Hades, a Druid initiation centre, an Arthurian hill-fort, a magnetic power-point, a crossroads of leys, a centre for Goddess fertility rituals and celebrations, a converging point for UFOs. Prehistory The mythology of the Tor reaches so far back into ancient times that it is impossible to give it a beginning. But if we try to look beyond Christianity and beyond the Celtic Druids, we may discover some of the truth concerning its origins and purpose. New information and interpretations have been coming to light about what was previously dismissed as paganism The Goddess took many forms and was represented in a variety of different aspects, but believers would see her essential nature in the harmony and balance of the natural order, the ebb and flow growth and decay of life itself She was evoked and celebrated on hills and mountains, these being her

It is impossible to say whether the stories have somehow become muddled over the years, due to the fact that each give small bits of information, that do not contradict one another.
The Annals of Cambriae are the first written text known to mention Camlann and Arthur's death at that battle. That is if you refer to a battle as a strife? It is also the first mention of Medraut, although no explanation as to who he is mentioned.
The Historia Brittonum (History of the Britons) Written in the early twelfth century includes a list of Arthur's battles, just as Nennius had previously supplied. Together, these three documents, the Annals Cambriae, Historia Brittonum and the works of Nennius for the backbone to all Arthurian mythology.
Nennius seems to have been the primary source for William of Malmesbury and his Gesta Regum Anglorum (Acts of the Kings of the English). By the time William was writing (1125AD), there was a host of Arthurian tales being spread by word of mouth throughout the country. William mentions these and disregards them as pure myth. Williams's work is probably the first time the Arthurian tales were brought together, and the last time that folklore was separated from then accepted historical fact. The Gesta Regum Anglocorum identifies Arthur helping Ambrosius Aurelianus in fighting the Angles, and refers to his triumph at the siege of Mount Badon, where Arthur bore the image of the Virgin Mary throughout the battle. As you can see, Badon has been upgraded to a siege. As William didn't mention Camlann it is suspected that he didn't consult the Annales Cambriae, which is contemporary, however Geoffrey of Monmouth almost certainly did.

Conclusion
"The old order changeth, yielding place to new, And God fulfills himself in many ways, Lest one good custom should corrupt the world. Comfort thyself; what comfort is in me?"
Alfred Lord Tennyson, Idylls of the King
"Simon struggled to keep the image of the living Ineluki's suffering face before him. That was the truth beneath the horrible, burning thing. No creature in all the cosmos deserved what had happened to the Storm King. 'I'm sorry' he whispered to the face in his memory. 'You should not have suffered so."
Tad Williams, Memory, Sorrow and Thorn
Summary
In the nineteenth century a movement known as Gothic Revival introduced medieval themes and elements into literature, art and architecture. Alfred Tennyson, using the Arthurian mythology, created the epic poem Idylls of the King , which deals with the rise and fall of Camelot. The ideals of King Arthur are lost as knights caught between responsibility to the kingdom and their personal interests choose the wrong path. In the twentieth century, Fantasy literature began to develop as a movement which reintroduced the medieval environment. Tad Williams' Memory, Sorrow and Thorn

Arthurian Mythology
by Geoffrey Ashe f the name of King Arthur is mentioned, I suppose what comes to mind is not so much one person as a whole array of characters and themes, a montage so to speak. Of course we do think first of the King, the magnificent monarch of a glorified or idealized medieval realm. But we think also of his Queen, of the fair and wayward Guinevere, we think of his enchanter, Merlin, who presided over his birth, who set him on the throne, who established him there in the early and travelled days of his reign. There were the knights of the Round Table, vowed to the highest ideals of chivalry, and the greatest of them, Sir Lancelot, who, of course, has a tragic love affair with the Queen. There is another great love story, that of Tristan and Isolde, the theme of Wagner's Opera. We think of the place where these people assembled, Camelot, Arthur's magnificent, personal castle and capital and then, there are stranger things; the story of the quest for the Holy Grail, giving a spiritual dimension to the whole story and there is magic. Not only the magic of Merlin but the magic also of his strange, ambiguous student, the women, the enchantress, Morgan LaFay. And at the end is the tragedy of Arthur's downfall, his passing away at the isle of Avalon and another mystery that we do not know what really happened to him that he was said to be immortal, that one day he would return and restore the golden age in his country.

    with this review Avalon (1) Pilot episode Michael Shanks did not mince his words when he mentioned that the ninth season would be akin to starting over. With new cast to replace some and supplement other old ones, one would expect a completely different dynamic from what was seen in the first eight seasons of the episode. This marks the debut of Browder and Bridges into the realm of Stargate. These, combined with the fact that this is the first of a trilogy indicates that first episode of the ninth season is nothing short of a pilot with a strong emphasis on character development, especially that of Colonel Mitchell played by Ben Browder and Vala played by Claudia Black.
    With the most of the Gao’uld killed or defeated and the remaining hiding, one is left pondering over the storyline of the ninth season. In keeping with its tradition that implies all mythology is true with a strong alien influence, this episode gives a draws a connection between realm of Arthurian mythology and the Ancients. The adventure starts off with Browder being incorporated as an integral part of stargate even before. When Vala forces Daniel Jackson to miss the trip to Atlantis on board the Daedalus, he is forced to help her translate a coded Ancient scroll to find what Vala believes, is a source to buried treasure.

    Title Directed by Rating Times Seen King Arthur Fuqua, Antoine I can hear my dad's voice in response to this review already...something to the effect of me saying that such and such a movie was a 4 or a 5, when this film gets a ZERO? I haven't given a zero to a picture online before, but other films I count as zeroes are League of Extraordinary Gentlemen and The Medallion. The reason they get zeroes is that they had all the tools to make a great film - big budget, good cast, good concept and they screwed it up in one, or in this case many ways. I would describe King Arthur with three terms: Anachronistic, Confused and Try-Hard. Now when I say Anachronistic, I'm not simply referring to the fact that the tribal Celts are deadly accurate with a trebuchet. Nor am I referring to the moments where the Saxon warlord(who went to the same acting school as Steven Seagal), mutters his lines in hushed tones in perfect English and then barks out commands to his army who reply in some Scandihoovian lingo, while the Woads(Celtic people who look to have been at a rave) say all their 'inside dialogue' with subtitles. It's Anachronistic in that, while it's well researched historically, everyone runs around with 20th century values even Braveheart didn't use. The theme of the movie is freedom. Freedom freedom freedom. Most of the film's dialogue goes something like this.

    http://www.rheged.freeserve.co.uk/kingarthursroundtable.html
    King Arthur's Round Table (Nr. Penrith, Cumbria.) Though not so ancient as Mayburgh, King Arthur's Round Table is just as mysterious. It is on a smaller scale than its neighbour, but would still have involved a considerable effort to build. King Arthur's Round Table is three hundred feet in diameter and surrounded by a five foot high bank with an internal quarry ditch. In the seventeenth century two standing stones were recorded near the northern entrance, though both are now long since gone, and this part of the henge lies beneath the road to Ullswater. King Arthur's Round Table has been described as a miniature Avebury in design, but whether it had a circle or circles of stone or timber is not known. It is believed to date from the early Bronze Age. Two causeways over the ditch, one to the north and one to the south-east, served as entrances to the centre of the earthwork. In the nineteenth century excavations in the centre of the circle revealed a cremation trench containing human bones. At the time it was thought that the trench had previously been surrounded by stones which had been removed long before. These excavations left a Tow mound which is still visible in the centre of the earthwork. The name, King Arthur's Round Table, is significant in various ways. Firstly Round Table was often applied to prehistoric sites which represented the pagan circle reflecting the patterns of the heavens. Over two hundred ancient sites in Britain bear King Arthur's name and claim to be connected with Arthurian mythology. The two facts together seem to suggest that two religions, and two views of life were being knitted together. Christian mysticism was taking over from pagan beliefs and Arthurian legend was able to encompass both ideologies.
