The Misconceptions About Merlin

Who is the half-human, half-devil, contradictory and enigmatic character known as Merlin? What was his genesis in Arthurian legend? What is the account of Merlin’s sexual encounter with the enchantress Viviane, also known as the Lady of the Lake? What are the biggest misconceptions about this mercurial wizard? Dr. Laura Campbell - Assistant Professor of Translation Studies and French in The School of Modern Languages and Cultures at Durham University - shares about an 800-year-old Merlin fragment found in a Bristol archive, answers your Glitch Bottle Patreon listener questions, and more!
