Gods, Heroes, & Kings
Author: Christopher R. Fee
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 9780198038788
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 260
Book Description
The islands of Britain have been a crossroads of gods, heroes, and kings-those of flesh as well as those of myth-for thousands of years. Successive waves of invasion brought distinctive legends, rites, and beliefs. The ancient Celts displaced earlier indigenous peoples, only to find themselves displaced in turn by the Romans, who then abandoned the islands to Germanic tribes, a people themselves nearly overcome in time by an influx of Scandinavians. With each wave of invaders came a battle for the mythic mind of the Isles as the newcomer's belief system met with the existing systems of gods, legends, and myths. In Gods, Heroes, and Kings, medievalist Christopher Fee and veteran myth scholar David Leeming unearth the layers of the British Isles' unique folkloric tradition to discover how this body of seemingly disparate tales developed. The authors find a virtual battlefield of myths in which pagan and Judeo-Christian beliefs fought for dominance, and classical, Anglo-Saxon, Germanic, and Celtic narrative threads became tangled together. The resulting body of legends became a strange but coherent hybrid, so that by the time Chaucer wrote "The Wife of Bath's Tale" in the fourteenth century, a Christian theme of redemption fought for prominence with a tripartite Celtic goddess and the Arthurian legends of Sir Gawain-itself a hybrid mythology. Without a guide, the corpus of British mythology can seem impenetrable. Taking advantage of the latest research, Fee and Leeming employ a unique comparative approach to map the origins and development of one of the richest folkloric traditions. Copiously illustrated with excerpts in translation from the original sources,Gods, Heroes, and Kings provides a fascinating and accessible new perspective on the history of British mythology.

Book Description
Skye, Jailynn, and Phrena, 17-year-old girls, attend high school at Hirkami Castle. One of the girls pastimes was to explore the unoccupied parts of the castle. During one of these searches, the girls happened upon a room full of treasures. There, Skye found a golden medallion with a dragons head engraved on one side. As she held the coin, it flashed blue and made her tingle from head to toe as if electrified. Suddenly, a dragon mark, like a tattoo, appeared on her right wrist. It was not like the dragon coins face, but that of a dragon in a circle as if to eat its own tail. Later, the three girls unwittingly traveled through a magic portal to the land of Corux. Corux is a parallel world of ancient ways. It is a land of magic, mages, and royalty. And a dragon awakens
