new team name

starting tomorrow will have our new team name from:

Sir Percevale
Courage


Purpure, a semy of crosses, Or
Sir Percevale was raised by his mother in ignorance of arms and courtesy. Percevale's natural prowess, however, led him to King Arthur's court where he immediately set off in pursuit of a knight who had offended Guinevere. Percevale is one of the Grail knights in numerous medieval and modern stories of the Grail Quest.
Percevale first appears in Chrétien de Troyes's unfinished Percevale or Conte del Graal. Chrétien's story was also the inspiration for Wolfram von Eschenbach's Parzival. As in Chrétien's story, Wolfram's Parzival is initially naive and foolish, having been sheltered from the dangers of the chivalric world by his mother. Other medieval versions of the story of Percevale can be found in the French texts known as the Didot-Percevale and Perlesvaus. Percevale is the central character in the fourteenth-century Middle English romance Sir Percevale of Galles, which is apparently based on Chrétien's tale but which omits the Grail motif entirely. Percevale is one of three Grail knights in Sir Thomas Malory's Le Morte d'Arthur, the others being Galahad and Bors. Percevale functions as the narrator of the dramatic monologue which comprises most of Tennyson's Idyll "The Holy Grail."

HERA

HERA was the Olympian queen of the gods and the goddess of women and marriage. She was also a goddess of the sky and starry heavens. She was usually depicted as a beautiful woman wearing a crown and holding a royal, lotus-tipped staff. Sometimes she held a royal lion or had a cuckoo or hawk as her familiar.

Hera, Greek Goddess of Marriage



The Greek goddess Hera was a powerful queen long before her marriage to Zeus, the mighty king of the Olympian gods.  She ruled over the heavens and the earth and was responsible for every aspect of the environment, including the seasons and the weather.
The goddess Hera's name means "Beautiful Lady", and she was loved by all and served as the gracious Queen of the Olympian gods and goddesses. As the goddess of committed love and marriage in Greek mythology, Hera valued her relationship with Zeus above all else.

Though often hurt by her husband's amorous escapades, the  goddess Hera eventually led him achieve the and spiritual union which she yearned for. 
It was for this reason that June is the month  most popular for weddings (Juno was the Roman variation of the Greek goddess Hera.

More than any of the other Greek goddesses, the goddess Hera represents the fullness of life and reminds us that we can use our own wisdom in the pursuit of any goal we choose.


from all tthe definition for this greek god I hope she will give us good luck..
