interesting Green Man article

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Interesting.   I had never made this connection, I confess.

The Green man (or Green Knight) is a god figure that later became an
elf/fay/sidhe in Northern legend.  I am not at all sure that I see any
linkage with the character in TBOTNS: for example, he is never spoken of as
chained or imprisoned.
