Just for the record, and in no way relevant to this discussion; unless
they changed things considerably since I was active, the SCA specifically
refrains from replaying myths, and tries for as much historical authenticity
as is convenient.  Which is to say, no SCAers (in the course of doing
SCA stuff) makes King Arthur the center of their spiritual life.

Not unique, I think.  Don't the Moslems do it too?
