Basically the title. In the US I’ve heard the fables of King Arthur and Robin Hood constantly. What are some other fabled heroes from antiquity that are less well known? Something from a non-Western culture.

    The 12th Doctor met Robin Hood, who he insisted was fake even after meeting him. It was genuinely a very fun episode.

    The TV series Merlin had the late great John Hurt and was also a super fun time.

    The 13th doctor met the king during the witch hunts, which apparently was a decent impersonation of him. It was called The Witchhunter iirc

    You could probably just look up any major medieval theft for something VERY specific

      I wish the doctor would visit other cultures, he is very rarely seen outside the Anglosphere. There’s so much missed potential in his time travelling.
