* As noted in the main text, the Quest for the Holy Grail in the legends of [[King Arthur]]. In ''[[Le Morte d'Arthur]]'' it spans hundreds of pages as the narrative follows the knights of the Round Table in their search for the Grail -- and their many and varied failures. The Grail demanded an almost unmeetable moral standard
* ''[[The War Hound and the World's Pain]]'', a 1981 novel by [[Michael Moorcock]], revolves around a Grail Quest taking place during the [[Thirty Years' War]]. Mercenary freethinker Ulrich von Bek finds himself a damned soul in a castle owned by [[Satan|Lucifer]], who bizarrely charges him with seeking the Grail, which will reconcile Lucifer with God and save von Bek's own soul. As might be expected, the quest tests von Bek almost to destruction.
<!-- Find/remember the urban fantasy book where the main character knowingly undertook a Grail quest in the modern American South and ran into modern versions of the Arthurian tests. -->
