King Arthur

[Spartan198]

I had a similar discussion on another forum and this was one of my responses, albeit slightly modified to fit the theme of this topic.


The way I look at it, something or someone doesn't have to exist to be real. Trying to prove an entity of some kind exists is entirely irrelevant when the question is whether or not it's real.

For example, say a person grew up reading Spider-Man all his/her life and believes he's the greatest superhero ever. Is ol' Spidey any less real simply because he exists only in the pages of the comics and not out in the organic world that we inhabit? No, I don't think so. Same thing with the likes of Achilles, Herakles, King Arthur, Beowulf, etc.. My view is that such heroes indeed are real, even if they only exist in our hearts.

That is just it
