The Legends of King Arthur -...

Odessa Nightshade

The legend of King Arthur is one of the most enduring and captivating myths in Western history. For centuries, stories of the noble king, his valiant knights, and the magical forces surrounding them have fascinated people across generations. Arthurian legends have been retold through medieval manuscripts, romantic poetry, and modern films, each version reshaping the myth to fit its time. But who was King Arthur? Was he a real historical figure, or merely a creation of folklore? The answer remains elusive, yet the legend continues to hold a profound place in literature and culture.
The origins of the Arthurian legend are shrouded in mystery. Early references to Arthur can be traced back to medieval Welsh poetry and the historical writings of figures like Geoffrey of Monmouth, who played a crucial role in shaping Arthur’s story. Some believe Arthur was inspired by a real warrior who fought against invading Saxons in the early Middle Ages. Others argue that Arthur was never a historical figure at all but rather a symbol of ideal kingship, created to embody the virtues of courage, wisdom, and justice. Regardless of his origins, the myth of Arthur evolved over time, blending history with fantasy.
One of the defining elements of the Arthurian legend is the concept of chivalry. The stories of Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table emphasize honor, loyalty, and the pursuit of noble causes. These ideals were deeply rooted in the medieval code of conduct, influencing literature and knightly behavior for centuries. The knights’ quests, whether for justice or for the Holy Grail, reflect themes of personal growth, sacrifice, and moral integrity. The concept of Camelot, a utopian kingdom where justice prevails and the weak are protected, continues to inspire stories of heroism and idealism.

Strange but True Stories Tales...

Martin K. Ettington

I have researched and written over 150 books on strange and mysterious phenomena. Some of these books are based on my own experiences and most topics are based on my research. My fascination with strange things has become a major passion in my life. 
This book includes over sixty true stories on many different subjects to provide a lot of food for thought on these topics. 
These stories cover Bigfoot, Aliens & UFOs, Time and Dimensional travel stories, survival stories, ancient civilizations, Out Of Place Artifacts, Dragons, Giant Snakes, the Paranormal, Longevity, Outer Space, Spiritual Experiences, Impossible Ruins, and much more. 
Graduated from Engineering School and also had many paranormal experiences from learning meditation and other practices. My goal is to write about weird topics from an analytical perspective. 
When you finish this volume maybe you will see my point of view which is that as much as we think we know about this world and the Universe, there are still many mysteries and strange things out there.
