Legends

Legends are curious stories - based on a minute sliver of truth and then spun with golden exaggerations into tales. They're passed down from generation to generation, but generally legends only hold power for those who believe them. But there is always some truth, and that's the piece that's important - the reason that the legends continue to be told, as a warning or revering memory.

One of my personal favorite legends is King Arther and the Knights of the Round table. Camelot was a world of romance, justice, and magic. Guenevere, Lancelot, and Arther were such interesting characters, probably because they were flawed. They had very human qualities and made HUGE mistakes. We all make mistakes so we can relate, but we're glad that most of them were not of legendary proportions. Their stories have been told time and time again, reiterating themes of justice and leadership.

[The Crystal Skulls: Fact or Fable?’ One of my best efforts. Sold like hotcakes smothered in a rich, tangy lemon sauce.]
