Quest for King Arthur

[chthonic-gnome.livejournal.com]

Any thoughts on the History Channel special?

I thought it was really good, though a lot of times it lost track and focused on the evolution of the literary Arthur rather than the historical Arthur(s) like it intended to do.

I found it interesting that they chose to include the more recent version of the Excalibur tale, when in fact the Sword first originated as belonging to Galahad--Arthur was not pure enough to touch Excalibur.

I'd be really interested to see a special more devoted to the evolution of the literature, though I suppose that can be gauged by several years of intense reading :)
