King Arthur the Man the Myth

I believe that King Arthur was a real person but became the idyllic King after the stories of his battle conquest and his life were written about later sort of an artistic license if you will.  I think the idea of a King who wants what is best for his people and his men is an admirable but unachievable goal.  Of the stories I’ve read and the movies I’ve seen depict him as a strong and wise leader and a soft and humble man.  In order to show his men that he was their equal he designed a conference table that was round that way there was no one at the head.  The story of and the ideology of Camelot is one where all have what they need, life is a utopia and the people and the government work together.  Now wouldn’t that be a wonderful place to live?
