Similar fables to King Arthur and Robin Hood in other cultures? - Lemmy.World
Basically the title. In the US I’ve heard the fables of King Arthur and Robin
Hood constantly. What are some other fabled heroes from antiquity that are less
well known? Something from a non-Western culture.
I got nothin’ but this tangent: J.R.R. Tolkien did his world building and the novels they’re set in because he was jelly of the rich mythology of the neighboring northern European countries, and wanted England to have its own. I guess King Arthur and Robin Hood wasn’t good enough for him.
