520    Why is King Arthur a giant? Because his story has had such
       strong influences on our understanding of the history of 
       Europe and the English-speaking world. Because the debate 
       about Arthur as a historical figure has been central to 
       understanding the fall of Roman Britain and the formation 
       of England for much of the last 1,300 years. Because 
       Arthur is one of the best-known kings in world history, 
       whose reign was viewed as a golden age, an epoch in which 
       to center tales of right and wrong, of faith and 
       faithlessness, and of courage and falseness, the moral and
       spiritual values of which continue to resonate today not 
       least among those who dismiss Arthur as a late literary 
       construct. Because an understanding of Arthur and all the 
       different things he has meant to scores of generations up 
       to the present is fundamental to our understanding of our 
       own past, our understanding of ourselves and the ways in 
       which we can benefit from history.
