		The Irish original to which he refers, Briccriu's Feast, bears only a slight resemblance to "Sir Gawain" and that could easily by accounted for by the common bardic theme of a challenge to a hero.
		In it, the battle takes place on two successive days; in "Sir Gawain" it takes place - on both occasions - at the new Year, and it is only Graves who translates this as meaning the two solstices.
