When one encounters the adventures of Odysseus in The Odyssey‚ however‚ the values of a completely different and slightly opposing culture present themselves. In the medieval times of Sir Lancelot‚ an ideal man would tend to

    Sir Lancelot is the greatest knight at the Round Table. Lancelot is Arthur’s best friend and yet is completely different in that he performs heroic acts by accident. Lancelot is too humble to allow all his heroic acts to improve his self-image. A hero is someone who engages in a heroic act risking or losing his or her life to save someone else’s. Sir Lancelot is a hero. Lancelot is brave. Lancelot could be called brave because he wasn’t afraid to kill people. If a situation needed immediate action

    The life within Lancelot had departed like a whisper when the blackness of the veil had closed around him. A languid drowsiness had stolen the strength from his limbs‚ gently urging his eyes to close‚ and then he’d known no more. Perhaps it had been due to the fact that he’d chosen his fate willingly‚ but death had been quick and painless‚ surprisingly gentle compared with the end he’d always expected for himself. When awareness returned‚ however‚ it was something else entirely. Gone were tender
