It is amazing how the tale of one man's life managed to spread all over the world. The legend of King Arthur and his noble knights is so well known! Numerous tribes and nations have their own version of Arthur's life. There are some versions that go deep in with great meaning and symbolism. Then, there are also versions that are simple, funny, and resemble a fairytale, just like Disney's The Sword and the Stone.
Out of all the amazing deeds that made Arthur so great, what can we actually believe? All the versions bring up common points, such as the sword, Excalibur, put in the stone, and there is also the wizard, Merlin. How can we believe it? Most people do not believe in magic, like wizardry, and the great accomplishments Arthur claimed to do. The magic just seems like extra stuff meant to entertain listeners. Not all of Arthur's story is magic, some parts could definitely be true. Sometimes it is just tough deciding what one can believe, and where stuff is definitely made up.
We really can not prove anything of King Arthur's story to be true. We do not even know if King Arthur existed! Since none of us were around during Arthur's time, how can we possibly know fact from fiction? The legend of King Arthur has intrigued people for centuries, and should continue to do so. However, this story should be considered as a fictional story.
