I'd put Le Morte D'Arthur as the first modernization of the myths, not another myth.

- jhbadger 2mo agoYeah. There is a difference between something like Geoffrey's "De gestis Britonum" which was thought by the author to be sort of true, and Malory who knew he was writing literature.
- QuesnayJr 2mo agoMost of what people think about as part of the Arthur myth are from literary sources, like Lancelot, the Knights of the Round Table, or the Grail quest.
- bryanrasmussen 2mo agoPeredur from the Mabinogion and Chrétien De Troyes Perceval are pretty strongly related, implying that there is a common Celtic source tale, but I don't think anyone has ever found one.
