The "Robin Hood" mythos, much like the Swiss "William Tell" mythos and Tolkien's "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, has a strong libertarian/anti-authoritarian element and was expressed well in the television series "Robin Hood" that was produced in Canada during the early-mid sixties. For many of us, it was one of the first times that we were exposed to libertarian ideas on American television.
