Well, the legend takes place in the medieval era, but if King Arthur actually existed it would have around the 5th Century and he wouldn't have been the medieval King that we all know. He would probably have been some kind of a warlord who fought the Saxon invaders.

What was the shape of King Arthur's table?
Actually, contrary to popular belief, King Arthur never had a round table, in fact he had never owned a table in his life or had anyone else he knew because tables had not been invented. They ate squatting or sitting on the floor around a central hearth. The Welsh did not even have a word for table until they borrowed the word "bord" (meaning "board") from Old English. A table is just a board on trestles. The Welsh adapted the word as "bwrd". Presumably some teller or Arthurian tales was explaining that Arthur's men ate sitting in a circle, and some of his hearers, unable to conceive of noble knights eating sitting or squatting on the floor of a castle, invented the Round Table in their own minds, and probably thought that was what the story teller was describing.

Is the myth King Arthur a greek one?
No, the story of King Arthur is from England during Medieval times (Knights of the round table, sword in the stone, all that). Answer 2: Well, not really England. Britain yes, but the Celtic fringe - Scotland, Cornwall, Wales. Even thought they believed his tomb to be in Glastonbury, Somerset. He was the focus and inspiration of late Celtic mythology.
Was King Arthur a medieval king?
It is not even certain that King Arthur was a real person. If he was real, he was probably a British war leader in late ancient or very early medieval times. Long after that, during the middle ages, many stories of Arthur developed and, as was common then, they were set in the world as the medieval people knew it, not the world of late ancient times. So whatever he was in reality, the stories that have come down to us are stories of a medieval king.

What does round table mean?
"Mythology" holds that King Arthur held meetings with all his advisors at a physically round table so that no one person seemed more important than any other. A sort of attempt at equality. Today it is used very loosely to describe discussions having nothing to do with the shape of a table at which they are seated. Some of these are not even held at a table. The 'discussions' of these pundits on various shows is sometimes referred to as a round table discussion. The original intent was for each to have an equal opportunity to speak, but today (maybe for theatrical purposes) many times it devolves into a shouting match between the 'spoiled brats' for the most attention they can get and sometimesmto just drown out the other speaker.
