Morgan le Fay

About
More Photos

Morgan le Fay (meaning "Morgan the Fairy"), alternatively known as Morgana, and among other names and spellings, is a powerful and ambiguous enchantress from the legend of King Arthur, in which most often she and he are half-siblings. Early appearances of Morgan in Arthurian literature do not elaborate her character beyond her role as a goddess, a fay, a witch, or a sorceress, generally benevolent and connected to Arthur as his magical savior and protector. Her prominence increased as legends developed over time, as did her moral ambivalence, and in some texts, there is an evolutionary transformation of her to an antagonist, particularly as portrayed in cyclical prose such as the Lancelot-Grail and the Post-Vulgate Cycle. A significant aspect in many of Morgan's medieval and later iterations is the unpredictable duality of her nature, with potential for both good and evil.
