<<<Aaron Crowe wrote:...What is even MORE interesting is that in some 
of these tales the reason why the "fisher king" character was wounded 
in the first place was because of arrogance and a search for 
immortality and it is Percival (or Parsifal or the innocent boy) who 
must in the end put the ailing "fisher king" to rest by healing him 
with the Holy Grail so that he may die a natural death....Anywho, 
there are enough allusions to English myth going on not to ignore.

The Sergeant Majorette says:

Oooh! Oooh! and all that Robert Graves stuff about the Year-Kings 
where the young one has to kill the old one; and the Green Man, and 
Green George in Eastern European folklore; and Harry with his *green 
eyes*!
