Arthur was raised by Sir Ector because Merlin was vanished.
It is possible because, according to Legend, Merlin took Arthur from his biologicalparents Uther and Igraine- to be raised in Sir Ector's court. There is no mention of kidnapping or stealing Arthur away from his parent. And even of Arthur had been kidnapped, Sir Ector knew Uther, so why wouldn't he tell him that his son was at Ector's court while his parents thought of him as kidnapped?

Sir Ector and some think Merlin raised him. Merlin did not raise Arthur. Merlin helped Uther quench his lust for Igraine and therefore conceive Arthur but for a price. Merlin told Uther he would help if Uther consented to give up the child that would be conceived in that union. Uther of course said yes--never mind what Igraine, the mother might feel, but this was a different time from ours! Merlin knew the child--Arthur--was special and assured Uther that the babe would be raised by a man of honor--Ector.
Merlin was Arthur's tutor when he was a child in the care of Sir Ector. Merlin was the one who brought Arthur to Sir Ector from Arthur's mother Igraine. Merlin is responsible for educating Arthur to be the king he is supposed to be.
Sir Ector de Morven was Arthur's foster father, raising him after Arthur was placed in his care by Merlin. Ector treated Arthur as his own son, not knowing his true royal lineage. Their relationship is characterized by loyalty and affection, with Ector supporting Arthur throughout his upbringing and development into the future king. This bond is central to Arthur's early life and his eventual claim to the throne.

In the legend of King Arthur, Sir Ector is the foster father of King Arthur. He raised Arthur as his own son and played a key role in Arthur's upbringing.
Sir Ector took care of King Arthur because he was unaware of Arthur's royal lineage and raised him as his own son after Arthur's father, King Uther Pendragon, died. Ector was a nobleman and believed in fostering the welfare of the kingdom, so he provided a nurturing environment for Arthur. This upbringing allowed Arthur to grow into a wise and just leader, ultimately fulfilling his destiny as king.
