Green Knight

The Green Knight is a mysterious, supernatural figure from Arthurian legend, often depicted as an enormous, green-skinned knight wielding a massive axe. He appears in the story "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight," challenging Sir Gawain to a equally matched game: striking a blow and accepting a return blow a year later. The Green Knight symbolizes nature, life’s cycles, and moral testing, embodying themes of courage, humility, and honor. His striking green color links him to the natural world and arcane mysteries, making him a symbol of both challenge and the interconnectedness of humans and nature.
