Strength is fine, but cunning is much better, since it often succeeds where muscles fail . . .
Merlin arranged the rocks in order, side by side. Because of Merlin's mythic relationship to the 'Hanging Rocks', Stonehenge is often linked with Arthurian legend. The legend was first recorded in Historia Regnum Brittaniae by Geoffery of Monmouth, who related that the stones were brought from Africa to Ireland by giants. Later in the myth, Merlin is commissioned by Aurelius Ambrosius to bring the stones to Britain so that they can be set up as a war memorial. Called the Chorea Gigantum , the Giants' Ring, this monument becomes the burial place of Aurelius, Uther, and Constantine, Arthur's successor.
