My source was Bulfinch's Mythology. According to Bulfinch's, Viviane was the Lady of the Lake. Thomas Bulfinch acquired his information from a variety of sources, including a vast array of literature from the regions. In one passage by Matthew Arnold, quoted in Bulfinch's, the Lady of the Lake is also called Vivian. This explains a lot: http://www.lib.rochester.edu/camelot/vivmenu.htm Nov 18 03, 7:06 AM

Contrary to the '98 movie with Sam Neill, Merlin and Nimue's relationship was not so mutual and blissful. Nimue made Merlin promise that he would not use magic to lie with her. In short she played hard to get until Merlin doomed himself. His end varies according to the version including insanity, incarceration in a cave or turned into a beetle. Nimue is also identified with Viviane, lady of the lake, Niniane, Nyneve, and other variations. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lady_of_the_Lake http://www.angelfire.com/me2/camelot/Merlin.html May 07 07, 6:00 PM

Who was Merlin's arch enemy? Who was Tuptim in love with and did they marry? A prize puzzle book, The Merlin Mystery, which had a cash prize and a valuable wand (Merlin's Wand - an alchemist's staff) crafted from gold, silver and precious gems, went unclaimed when the puzzle was not solved. If unsolved the cash prize went straight to the World Wildlife Fund, as would the proceeds from the wand being auctioned. How much did it sell for and who bought it? Lana Lang was Kal-el's first love but who did she marry?
