Editing Gareth (section)

==Modern versions==
The legend of Gareth and Lynette has been reinterpreted by many writers and poets, the most renowned being [[Alfred Lord Tennyson]] in ''[[Idylls of the King]]'' (1859–1888). In this version the 'colored' knights are replaced by knights associated with various times of day: the final knight is known as Night or Death and is the most feared of the three, though ultimately the weakest. Eventually, Gareth marries Lynette. 

In some other retellings, Gareth marries Lynette's sister, whom he rescues, and Gaheris marries Lynette. [[Theodore Goodridge Roberts]] authored the short story "For to Achieve Your Adventure", in which Lynette knows she is sending Gareth into an ambush in an attempt to make him give up for his own protection.

In the ''[[Fate (disambiguation)|Fate]]'' franchise, Gareth is depicted as a female knight, while keeping much of the legend's original family traits and story; she ends up brutally killed by the mad Lancelot. An alternative Gareth also appears in a faery world in the "Lostbelt 6: Avalon le Fae" scenario of the mobile game ''[[Fate/Grand Order]]''.
