Sir Gawain and the Three Knights
In the legendary tale of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, a mysterious emerald knight disrupts King Arthur’s court with a bizarre challenge. Clad in green armor and riding a matching steed, he proposes a game: any knight who dares strike him with his own axe can keep the weapon, but must agree to receive an equal blow in return a year and a day later. While King Arthur hesitates, the young and eager Sir Gawain steps forward to defend his king’s honor. This seemingly straightforward test of courage sets Gawain on a perilous quest, where he must confront not just physical danger, but also themes of loyalty, temptation, and the importance of upholding one’s word.
