Bergentrückung, Or the King Asleep in the Mountain

41.4k Graingy  2 months ago

Quoting Wikipedia:

The king asleep in mountain is a prominent folklore trope found in many folktales and legends. Thompson termed it as the Kyffhäuser type. Some other designations are king in the mountain, king under the mountain, sleeping hero, or Bergentrückung ("mountain rapture").

King in the mountain stories involve legendary heroes, often accompanied by armed retainers, sleeping in remote dwellings including caves on high mountaintops, remote islands, or supernatural worlds. The hero is frequently a historical figure of some military consequence in the history of the nation where the mountain is located.

Long have they slumbered. For ten years no soul has heard their voice.

And ever yet they lie, awaiting the day they are called upon to save this wretched world...

    @Ashdenpaw1 The lord left nothing behind, not words nor monument.

    Only a name. A title. A command, for the ages.

    @Eagleman101SP I can't remember the list of reasons. Privatization of things that should never be privatized, for starters, I believe.
    Honestly I can't see how you've never heard her name once. I'd imagine it'd come with basic knowledge of the Cold War.

    @Eagleman101SP Former PM of the UK? Absolutely hated by many?
    Nicknamed the Iron Lady?
    She's hardly a niche figure.
