arthur greyhound

Now the book says that Sir Antor, and all his companions that I told you about, got tired of waiting for Arthur at Danebleise so they went off to look for him with their swords drawn and quickly come upon a hundred giants. Each set upon the other at once with swords and broadswords. Antor was brought down, and so was Gornains, Gales the Bald and Craddoc, Bleoberis and Blehartis, and they all had to defend themselves on foot, with the help of their seven companions who remained on horseback. Against a hundred giants, these were not good odds!

Sir Antor was soon in difficulty, but Arthur came riding to the rescue! He attacked where the giants were most closely gathered, as swiftly as a greyhound which has just been let off the leash. He quickly killed one, then another, then a third, he cut a fourth giant across the neck so that his head fell to the ground, then five and six, seven and eight; he dealt with them all in turn.

King Arthur extolled the virtues of his new sword to King Ban, saying that it cut so well that any knight would be delighted with it. The giants knew this already! Arthur helped lift the six back onto their horses.
