about the same way norse and celtic mythology do I'd guess.

Midgard = In Magnetism line @ 10 Magnetism give climb wall.

This is the same as not giving mid another wall climber, no

They most certainly do. Even the most basic investigation of Britainia's post Roman rule era will show how heavily the Saxons, Jutes, Angles and to a lesser degree, the Gaelish Celts influenced the history of the region.

They don't the Minotaur Asterius "greek mythology" was NOT around at the same time nor even close to the same area as the hybrasil,nordic countries or Great Britain etc.Great Britain that is the closest roughly 1,500 miles from Greece.

There was only ONE Minotaur in greek mythology named Asterion aka Asterius it wasn't till the 20th-century that Minotaur(s) began playing a part of a race of half man half bull.

Matter of FACT even ToA doesn't belong because the "myth" of Atlantis supposedly existed THOUSANDS of years before the Arthurian Lore (10th-century) compared to Atlantis based around 9600 BC.

Basically Mythic just dumped a bunch of Mythical lore 1000s of years and some 1000s of miles apart in one game and mutated it into w/e they wanted.

Lol. Obviously most posters lack proper historical education. By the time of the Arthurian legend, Roman heritage was nearly completely submerged within the Anglo-Saxon society. WHat was remembered included a smattering of Christianity (fully reintroduced in the late 500s by Irish Monks), classical ROman liturature (Seneca, Virgil, Cicero, etc) NOT Greek mythology, and elements of Roman Law.


The Lurikeen fitst within Irish Mythology, and the Norse Mythology had already been developed by the time of the Arthurian legend. Not yet brought to Brittannia, it was alive and well in Scandanavia. Viking pirates pillaged very infrequently during this period, with large invasions happening in the 700s.


No Atlantean or Cretan mythology was known during the period of the legendary Arthur.

If the last two posters were directing their comments towards me, perhaps you misunderstood my post. I was referring to the comment claiming Hibernia and Midgard mythos have no relevence to Arthurian legend, not that Minotaurs dont belong, which Im sure we can all agree that they dont.

so the legends and myths of altantis, and minotars... didnt exist during arthurian legend times... yet they are older then arthurian legend.... and still exist today...

thats just complete non-sense ...

what did it just completely erase itself from the minds of the entire populace then resurface again magical?


no... someone had to carry those legends and myths through time... so its not completely out of the realm of posibility that someone in britain heard about such things..

camelot isnt the first to tie together ancient greek with arthurian legends...

and some of the cantidates to be the arthur legend is based on .. happen to be romans...

and in albion theres alot of roman legion ghosts/skeletons.. infact that seems to be the majority of the monsters, and a major theme in albion...

and those who say distance between britain and rome ... umm rome still ruled britain for a time... so obviously folklore, myth and legend would have been transplanted to the populace...


and seeing that as the storyline goes at least with altantis... it was a long away and forgotten place that was rediscovered... wich is completely possible as altantis did exist before arthurian legend...


if mythic added western gunfighters, or ninja, or samurai.. then that would be a little out of context..

I never stated anything about Rome and Atlantis was completely destroyed "in one day and one night" thousands of years before Arthurian legend.

There was no lore on MinotaurS there was just lore that ONE Minotaur existed.

Reading comprehension sir... give it a whirl.

Funny you bring up Samurai because the time frame would be correct but the distance would be even greater.

Oh get a fFFFing grip people! You are arguing about the historical accuracy of a video game made to entertain a mass audience for profit.

Lol I can assure you that plenty of things WERE forgotten, lol. Ever hear of the Dark Ages? They also forgot Aristotle (rediscovered in the 1200s from the Arabs), Euclid, Democritus (hypothesized atomic theory), Greek tragedy and a host of other Hellenic authors.


Roman legions left in the early 400's to deal with the Visigoths and the Franks. Arthur's time was >150 years later. Unlike the continent, most Roman culture had disintegrated in Britannia. Go read some of Bede's writings from the 600s. Very little ROmanness there.
