Honors 9 English HW: Know nuts and bolts for “King Arthur”

Honors 9 English Notes:

• Siegfried College Bowl:
• Patterns in Greek Myths: Strength, bravery, cunning, courage, Striving to self surpass, divine intervention
• Siegfried has these traits, but gods play a more minor role in the story, instead he uses magical items 
• Women play a bigger role, in Siegfried, and are depicted as strong and are active in battle, yet they are still searching for husbands
• The mark of the silver cross symbolizes Christianity creeping into the story
• Ironic that both Siegfried and Hercules are incredible strong warriors, but are both killed by their wives on accident.
