What Even Is The Holy Grail?
In this episode, we’re looking at one of the most well-known motifs in Arthurian legends: the Holy Grail. I have a love-hate relationship with the Grail, mostly because of the emphasis placed on it when compared to other aspects of the legends. As a literary device, it’s fantastic. When held against other parts of the legends? Well, I prefer my heroes not overshadowed by a single item of magical power.

- “Le Morte d’Arthur” by Thomas Malory, rendered by Keith Baines (2010). A tough read due to how many independent factors, but Malory is the creator of many myths we’re familiar with.
