The Robin Hood Factor |
Glossary |
 :
The friars who recorded the original Robin Hood legends embellished his adventures with themes and events that mirror themes and events in The Bible, Ancient Greek Philosophy and ancient legal codes. "Robin Hood" preceded The Magna Carta in much the same way as Aesop's Fables preceded the first Democracies in Ancient Greece. The legends then served as a bridge between the ancient and Renaissance worlds that grew into the Enlightenment and eventually into modern, Western culture and governance.
These books follow the threads of grassroot hopes and ideals through their journey to those that we have today. They reveal a great deal about where we came from and in which direction we are heading. |
