Paperback. Condition: Very Good. The search for the historical figure behind what is arguably the most famous cycle of legends ever has been unrelenting over the centuries. Here, two noted Arthurian experts argue that the man whose story started the Arthurian myth was a soldier named Lucius Artorius Castus who lived at the end of the second century AD. Castuss extraordinary career took him from one end of the Roman Empire to the other, bringing him into contact with tribespeople among the Steppe nomads in particular the Sarmatians. For several decades the Sarmatians have been thought to be the inspiration behind Arthurs Knights of the Round Table, among other British tales. The authors provide a fascinating detective story following the life of Lucius Artorius Castus against the colourful backdrop of the history of the reigns of Marcus Aurelius and his son, the barely sane Commodus. In doing so they reveal the manifold links between Artorius and the legend. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.…

Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. No Jacket. A richly illustrated journey into Celtic myth and legend, bringing ancient gods, heroes, and sacred landscapes vividly to life. Covering foundational myths from Ireland and Wales - including the Tuatha Dé Danann, the Ulster Cycle, and Arthurian traditions - the book presents these stories in an accessible narrative format supported by striking full-color imagery. Sections on gods and cosmology, heroic battles, and mystical transformation provide a well-rounded introduction to one of Europe's most enduring mythological traditions. Produced as part of the visually acclaimed Myth and Mankind series, the book is notable for its strong design and presentation. Full-page photographic spreads, archaeological imagery, and artistic reconstructions - such as burial sites, carved artifacts, and mythic symbolism - enhance the reading experience and make this as much a display piece as a reference work. The large format and high-quality printing lend the volume a substantial, coffee-table presence ideal for collectors and gift buyers alike. This copy is in Very Good condition. Binding remains firm and square with clean, bright pages throughout. Boards show moderate edge wear, including rubbing and slight fraying at corners and spine ends, along with some surface wear consistent with handling. No dust jacket, as issued. A well-preserved and attractive copy overall, with strong visual appeal and no major defects. Fergus Fleming is a historian known for works on exploration and cultural history, while Shahruhk Husain and C. Scott Littleton are respected scholars of mythology and religion. Their combined expertise results in a clear, engaging presentation that balances scholarly insight with readability, making this an excellent introduction for both casual readers and enthusiasts.…

HRD. Condition: New. New Book. Shipped from UK. Established seller since 2000.

Hardback. Condition: New. Most people know the story of the Sword in the Stone, in which King Arthur pulled a sword from a stone and thus proved his right to rule England. Many also know about the Twelve Knights of his Round Table. It has long been assumed that the story of these companions comes from a similar tale about Charlemagne's Twelve Companions, in turn inherited from Jesus and his Twelve Disciples. But what if there is a much earlier origin for both the Sword in the Stone and the Twelve Knights, one rooted in astronomy and first emerging in the Cradle of Civilisation?In The Sword in the Stone, John Matthews and Linda A. Malcor put forward the convincing theory that this story began to form 4,000 years ago in the cultures of Mesopotamia and Babylon, first appearing explicitly in the culture of the Hittites, and then repeated itself down through the centuries across cultures as distant as Japan and North America. The authors here bring all the strands together to explain how we arrived at Arthur.Reflecting our timeless relationship with the stars, The Sword in the Stone will forever change your perception of that famous tale.…
