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.

102. Whoosh! Film Reviews King Arthur (Antoine Fuqua, 2004) Both ragged and keen King Arthur is cutting edge mythwork for our own time. Arthur becomes king in Britain and rules the land. Myth is functional http://www.whoosh.org/films/reviews/kingarthur.html

Need graphic; on review page: promo Whoosh! Film Review Area KING ARTHUR (Antoine Fuqua, 2004) IMDB entry Review by Deborah Monroy , (c) 2004 Deborah Monroy Beware : Spoilers may be in the review Wicked Nipples, Able Arthur: notes in quest of King Arthur The nipples above refer to those found ferociously defending the iron door of the Roman compound that preserves "civilization" in the film King Arthur . They may be an arbitrary decorative detail but then myth is a mess by definition and King Arthur pastes together a pointedly variant view of Arthurian mythology. The impassioned inventiveness of this film is unmistakable (unless of course I am mistaken after watching the movie several times). The myth remains the same while the story changes and changes again during each generation. Both ragged and keen King Arthur is cutting edge myth-work for our own time. Clive Owen smolders admirably in the title role while Keira Knightley, like any proper warrior princess, does look pretty in blood. Arthur becomes king in Britain and rules the land. Myth is functional anarchy and cannot be ruled benignly or otherwise. Myth is true fiction. This movie tells the tale differently than other Arthurian riffs because it is a new story cut together from elements including (but not limited to) The Seven Samurai through Gladiator alongside recent historical research.

104. The Sword And The Grail The Arthur myth gives us this clue, too. Which leads me (at last!) to the point of this article. No one succeeds in the Arthur stories. http://www.mindspring.com/~jadcox/SwordandGrail.htm

The Writer's Desk Music All About Me, John Adcox Go Back Home The Sword and the Grail: Restoring the Forgotten Archetype in Arthurian Myth The Grail Legend, to the work of later luminaries ranging from Joseph Campbell to Robert Johnson, the Grail quest has evolved from Celtic lore to become a metaphor of astonishing power that continues to guide generations of seekers on their own journeys to individuation, to use the Jungian term. the A Christmas Story? Metro Atlanta boasts at least five different neighborhoods with streets named after Lancelot, Galahad, Guinevere, and King Arthur himself. The Natural, Dark Tower, That Hideous Strength, The Da Vinci Code The question, again, is why? Why the Arthur stories, over so many other romances, adventures, wonder tales, and myth cycles? Why have they grown from forgotten history and half-forgotten Celtic myth to be so much a part of modern culture? what , the quest tells us how. way is important; the self is not (or at least much less so). But the knights seeking the Grail all enter the forest alone, apart from their fellows, in a place where the wood is thickest and where there is no path.
