Camelot vs. Tristan and Isolde


when you think about it, they're really similar. Which do you think is better?

As the film versions arnt exactly too similar, id have to think about Rosalind Miles tristan and isolde trilogy and TH White's once and future king.

And, i cant choose lol

In terms of the story, the Camelot, Tristan & Isolde and Paris & Helen stories are all very similar. Beautiful woman; love triangle arises between a younger man and the married woman; all parties already love/respect each other; war breaks out over who's right it is to posess the woman. I find that really interesting, but I suppose there is a certain amount of overlap in the *legend* aspect of legends like this.
