[QUOTE="nevin, post: 9107007, member: 7024481"] Arthur , and any celtic myths are probably some of the worst ones to argue about. the celts didn't write stuff down and the closest we have to original stories were written by the romans who at least didn't rewrite them to match thier own religions. But there have been some tid bits found over the years that indicate even the roman versions had been romanized dramatically from the original stories by the time they got written down. One tid bit i remember was that someone had found a piece of a manuscript that indicated Ceridwin and Arthur had a son called Mordrod and he was ugly as a beast and the most fierce of the knights. Also one theory that Merlin and Mordrod are the same person and in the original story the father was an Earth God with Ceridwen as the mother. But no proof just little tidbits here and there. Think about that. The original merlin could have been a Warrior Druid who fought with the knights. But all Celtic myths are like that. They got so mixed up by the people that conquered them, and then those stories were rewritten by monks, we'll probably never know what the original stories were. [/QUOTE]
