Hello everyone. I'm Olympia. Thank you for being here with me in this wonderful place called Lights Out Library.

And I have a great story to tell you.

Tonight, we're going to spend some time in the tranquility

of the Boisilion Forest,

in the company of characters you know,

of King Arthur, his wife, Guinevere, Merlin, Sir Lancelot, and Sir Galahad.

We will discuss figures such as the Lady of the Lake and Morgan Lafay, and delve into the legends

of the Knights of the Roundtable, Excalibur, Camelot,

Avalon, and the quest for the Holy Grail. This mythology, which frequently appears in novels and

films, is a fascinating aspect of culture. But where does it come from?

Is it based solely on fiction or is there some reality to it? How old is it? And why has it endured

for so long? After all, these names I just mentioned were already

famous 600 or 700 years ago in the Middle Ages. Tonight's discussion will include storytelling

because we love stories, but we'll also touch on some history.

We aim to understand what this Arthurian mythology is about by exploring regions and countries, such as England, Wales, Scotland, and Brittany.
