Sobre este artículo
Thames & Hudson, publishers, London 1981 hardcover, 5¾" x 8¾", with dust jacket VERY GOOD book in VERY GOOD unclipped dust jacket John Darrah's detailed analysis of Arthur's entourage shows that they embody recollections of various aspects of primitive religion - the cult of sacred waters, the cult of the severed head, the ritual relevance of copulation, castration and cannibalism. Above all, they recall the traditions of the priestly kings, such as those who reigned only until they were killed and replaced by a stronger man, and others who gave effect to the ancient supposition that a people's prosperity depended on the kings vigour, and particularly on his reproductive capacity.
