Arthurian Traditions (02/16)
"My apologies for missing class on Tuesday," Camulus says at the beginning of class, looking, well, gloaty and satisfied and generally on top of the world. "I am sure that Phoebe took very good care of you in my absence. She was to lead you in a discussion of the role of women in Arthurian legends and in events of the time. Today I'd like you to connect what you have learned of the Grail and of Grail quests with the women of the stories - Guinevere and Isolde, for example."
He stands and reaches for his notes to continue lecturing. "Guinevere was, of course, the wife of Arthur and the eventual cause of the downfall of the Arthurian court. She was won by Arthur in a game of drunken darts with King Iubne of the leprechauns." He blinked and looked down at his notes. "What? No. No, she wasn't. How did that get in there?" He scratched something out, frowning. "Queen Guinevere seems to have been selected for Arthur as a shining example of womanhood, and often their wedding is downplayed, as is her role at his death. Despite being married to King Arthur, Guinevere is desired by most of the prominent figures in the Arthurian legends, especially Perceval, Launcelot, Mordred, and Mickey Mouse." He paused again. "No. Not Mickey Mouse." He scratched something else out on his notes, then scanned down a few lines, scratching out a few more things, practically scowling now.
"So what does this have to do with Grail quests?" he continued, determined, after trying a few more sentences and finding his notes to be wrong, wrong, wrong. He went on about how both the women and the Grail were sought after because of the purity that they represented and the prestige they conferred on the knights, starting and stopping and growing increasingly irate as they were still wrong, wrong, wrong. And he began to get suspicious, suspicious, suspicious.
"Launcelot was the only one to never acheive - orgasm?!" With a snarl, Camulus flung the now-crumpled sheaf of notes to the ground and stomped out of the class, bellowing, "ORLIN!"
