This original and compelling study argues against the traditional
identification of Arthur as a king in Celtic Britain. Instead,
Graham Anderson explores the evidence for two much older figures,
known to classical writers as kings of Arcadia and Lydia, over a
millenium before. He shows how these kings can be clearly connected
with traditional Arthurian characters and adventure, including an
ancient Gawain, a Lady of Shallott, and a predecessor of Excalibur,
and shows that the Arthurian universe found in Welsh tales and
French romances is already anticipated in these earliest of
Arthurian materials. This radical reassessment of the Arthurian
legends provides a new perspective on on age-old historical puzzle,
and will provoke debate amongst Classical and Medieval scholars and
Arthurian enthusiasts.
