The Many Faces of Merlin: Prophet, Architect, Holy Man
The character of Merlin has been a recurring figure in Western popular culture ever since the Middle Ages. In his many iterations, Merlin is most often associated with the legendary King Arthur thanks to Geoffrey of Monmouth’s History of the Kings of Britain, published in 1135, which was the spark that caused the explosion in popularity for both of these characters. However, in a lesser known text by the same author, the Vita Merlini, Geoffrey reveals the many other faces of the powerful magician.

It is on islands where animals evolve in isolation, often for millions of years, with different food sources, competitors, predators, and parasites...indeed, different everything compared to mainland species.

However, an Egyptologist now claims that although she is said to have liked snakes so much that she slept with them, Cleopatra was probably not killed by a venomous snake.
