Last year we read the text “The Coming of the Saxons, or English 449(?) A.D. The Battles of the Tribes - Britain Becomes England” by D.H. Montgomery. The author depicts King Arthur’s battles in Dorsetshire as something ambiguous. At first, he provides certain expressions such as “The legend,” “According to tradition,” or “it is said.” These phrases give the impression that the author’s believes in the mythical nature of King Arthur. However, at the end of the same paragraph, the author mentions that this British Prince “was not a myth but a man.” So, the point of discussion was: “Did King Arthur really exist? Or this king and his sword “Excalibur” are just part of an ancient legend?” What do you think?
