This leads Archimedes to excuse himself on the basis that young perch is his favorite dish, and that he intended to eat Wart.Īrchimedes is next seen after Wart is fired as Kay's squire. After Wart and Merlin are human again, Merlin slyly notes that Archimedes cared a lot about Wart's safety. Archimedes doesn't get much rest, as he is soon forced to come to the rescue of Wart, who is being chased by a giant pike. Archimedes is shown to be very cranky early in the morning, and finds a nice tree to sleep in, while Merlin and Wart swim through the moat as fish. Merlin forgets the spell he intended to cast, and awakens a sleeping Archimedes for the spell. Merlin then reveals his plan to use magic to help Wart learn the value of an education.Īrchimedes later accompanies Merlin as the wizard gives Wart a lesson. When Merlin scoffs at the idea that jousting is a science, Archimedes points out that Wart likes the sport just as much as the rest do. The two then watch as Wart helps Kay practice his jousting.
The next morning, Archimedes is forced to remind a forgetful Merlin of where they are. In the dining room, Archimedes overhears the men speak of an upcoming tournament, where the winner would become king. After Merlin sees Sir Pelinore come with news, Archimedes is sent to listen in on what the news is. The next day, Archimedes protests that Merlin should return to the woods, as Sir Ector has placed the two of them in a crumbling tower, referred to as the "guest room." It rains that night, and Archimedes is soaked due to the numerous leaks in the tower.
Merlin introduces Archimedes as a "highly educated owl," which sends Sir Ector into hysterics, much to the offense of Archimedes. Later, when Wart does appear, he snidely reminds Merlin about his limits, when Merlin states that he can see everything in the future, as Merlin had no clue who the person was that would be joining them.Īrchimedes accompanies Merlin as Merlin heads to Sir Ector's castle. He scoff's at Merlin's idea that someone will join them for tea. Like the movie, the book version of Archimedes can talk and teaches Wart to fly.Īrchimedes first makes an appearance with Merlin in Merlin's cottage.
