King Arthur was not an Englishman, but a Celtic warrior, according to Roger Sherman Loomis, whose special research into the background of the Arthurian legend has revealed findings which are both illuminating and highly controversial.
The author sees the vegetarian goddess as the prototype of many damsels in Arthurian romance, and Arthur's knights as the gods of sun and storm. And Guenivere is the leading lady in a nature myth, while her son Mordred plays the part of the Irish god MIder. Arthur, himself, is another form of the Maimed King, embodiment of the enfeebled forces of Nature awaiting Spring.
If Loomis' arguments are accepted, where does this leave the historic Arthur? Was Arthur a god from the beginning? It's probable that Arthur began as a historical figure, grew in stature in Welsh, Dumnonian and Breton myth and completed his ultimate persona by reigning supreme in European romance.
This fascinating study will keep the controversy of the "real" Arthur alive.
