Arthur and Morgan Mythology

FULL-VIEW PLEASE!

Part of a collab between and myself for 's mythology project. I've been fascinated with the original Merlin myth lately, and have been reading a lot of Geoffrey of Monmouth's works- It's incredible how different the original characters were to what we think is the 'Arthur & Merlin' myth today, especially characters such as Morgana/Morgan Le Fay/ Morgan:

'Geoffrey of Monmouth’s Vita Merlini (c. 1150) named her as the ruler of Avalon, a marvelous island where King Arthur was to be healed of his wounds, and it described her as skilled in the arts of healing and of changing shape.' - [link]

'Her final act is transporting the fatally wounded King Arthur in a barge to the Isle of Avalon to be healed (outcome unrecorded)...' -[link]

... And I'm totally in love with the new Merlin BBC series
