Jonathan Pageau spoke about Robin Hood, King David, and the Green Man fron the Koran (Al Khadir) in his recent podcast. These characters provide a moral framework in which one is allowed to rebel against the authority over them. In all of these stories, the legitimate authority has become corrupt, power-hungry, or is broken in some way. These characters carry out actions (stealing from the rich etc.) which are on the surface immoral. However, in the context of serving a higher power, they are justified. Robin Hood serves King Richard David serves God Al Khadir serves the people A rebel must carry out his actions in the service of the legitimate authority to be considered legitimate.
