Thanks, Azalea!

Okay, here it is (and there's two parts to it)...

In Norse mythology, what was Loki's punishment for causing the death of which god?

afro-elf · 05-04-2002, 05:46 PM

the god killed was balder the beautiful

The anglo name for Excalibur was Calfydywch

Radagast · 05-05-2002, 04:38 AM

Afro elf- Arthur's sheath protected him from any injury.

Radagast · 05-05-2002, 04:41 AM

Lancelot was a Christian "hero". The Arthurian legends are Welsh but the later editions were very heavily Christianised, scholars suspect that Arthur was himself a pagan and earned the oppoisition of the Christian Church but Lancelot only appeared in the Christian stages.
(BTW the last three posts have been answeing Afro elf's questions on Arthur)

Where was the Greek mythology? I just happen to know a lot of Greek, Norse and Egyption mythology, so. . .Unfortunately, I don't know a lot of the stuff you asked, aldesign.

Well, Afro-elf got mine, shouldn't he ask one now?
