The Lady of the Lake is one of the most powerful women in the Arthurian legends. Even with all the things we know about her, she still seems to be shrouded in mystery. She is known by many names, which makes it harder to divide the truth of the actual character. It also makes it difficult to know if certain events transpired: like bringing up Lancelot. With scholars changing the story and all seeing the story from different point of views, it's hard knowing the actual stand of the character. Even with all different changes and sources, it seems the legend will never die out.
There are recent works that have the legend of the Lady of the Lake. One is a novel that was published a few years ago called Avalon High by Meg Cabot. Not only is it about the Lady of the Lake but it also includes other characters from the Arthurian legend. It takes place during their teenage years. Another is in the television serirs called Merlin, that also takes place during their young years. I recommend both medias. Their very interesting,entertaining, and can learn from them. The Arthurian legend will live on through the decades and new legends will be undiscovered.
