British Studies Web Pages Myths, Legends, Fantasy... HOME MAIL EVENTS INFO ... BOOK REVIEWS Irish Myths and Legends Countless works have been written on the subject of Irish myths and legends. Irish history is rich in stories and sages about heroes, fairies, gods, wars and romances. The ancient stories can be divided into four circles of tales: The Mythological Cycle The Ulster Cycle The Fenian Cycle The Cycle of Kings Most of what we know about pagan Ireland comes from the Mythological Cycle. The stories tell of a land inhabited by ancient spirits and fairies. The 'Tuatha Dé Danann' are said to be the Irish equivalent of the Greek and Roman gods. Legend claims that they arrived in Ireland about 350 BC from the north Islands of Greece where they had learned their druidry, prophecy and magic. The Dagda was the leader of the Irish pantheon of gods, the father of all. He is said to have carried a harp, a club and a cauldron. The harp may be said to represent the music and poetry of Ireland, the club may stand for war and the cauldron represents the Celtic spirit. It was also the pot from which the Dagda drank and ate before copulating with female gods. Therefore it was aslo a symbol of fertility. The Tuatha Dé Danann were driven underground by invaders and thereafter inhabited the dark underworld of the hills and mountains., which were already full of fairies. Halloween (October 31st) was the night when the hills opened up and the spirits and the gods poured forth, led by flocks of red birds and a three-headed vulture.

Although a couple of reference works give family trees for the Welsh gods ( DK R ), I have never seen a family tree that showed all the relationships among the prominent gods of the Irish pantheon, the Tuatha Dé Danann. I started keeping track of the relationships I could find, and the result is the following incomplete and somewhat inconsistent set of tables. Note that Different legends often provide different geneaologies for the same people. The spelling of Irish names varies tremendously, depending on which book you read. The spellings I use here are common, but far from universal. The notes in the table refer to books in the Bibliography of Sources at the end. These books are all excellent sources of information if you want to know more about the various gods in these family trees.

Readers : i am growing tired of persons who pretend to have read the following essay then attack me with name-calling and threats for getting The TRUE Explanation of their "Black Irish" WRONG. the latest two attacks have asserted that (1) the original Irish were Black Africans, based on the descriptions of the Firbolg as black and a single reference in an 18th-century english text; and (2) that "the Danes were the heavy armed, chainmailed clad 'black' invaders [of Ireland in the 9th century]. [thus] the black Irish are persons that can count in their heritage, Danish ancestry." (note that neither theory accounts for the term's exclusive usage in the USA in the past century, with no source whatsoever found in Eire itself.) At no time in the essay do i claim to know the origin of the term "Black Irish". this essay is about what the "Black Irish" are -NOT-, ie, the Black Irish are NOT of spanish descent from Armada survivors, and the reasons why the Black Irish are not of spanish descent from Armada survivors. However, given recent readings and investigations, i will now hazard a

var cm_role = "live" var cm_host = "tripod.lycos.com" var cm_taxid = "/memberembedded" Deniz Bozer (ed.), The Birth and Growth of a Department: Department of English Language and Literature, 25th Anniversary, (Ankara, Hacettepe University, 1990): 79-82. IRISH MYTHS AND LEGENDS: A BRIEF STUDY Can ABANAZIR We have to open a paranthesis here because in the Gaelic culture like the First of May, which is the beginning of surnmer. It comes right after the Teutonic feast of Walpurgisnacht on the 30th of April, a time when all evil is loose on earth. There was a Celtic feast called Beltine on the First of May also. And again the 30th of October is significant for it heralds the arrival of winter and this date is celebrated in a rather comical manner today as Halloween or All Hallow's Eve, and there was a Celtic feast called Samain that day where human sacrifices were offered to Gods. In the Druidic Ireland these dates were holy so the Christians who could not destroy these beliefs re-shaped them and accepted them as Christian beliefs. The Tuatha Dc Danan, after the defeat did not disappear as the other races did but they became a pillar in the cultural life of Ireland. They went underground and became the "Sluagh Sidhe" - the fairy folk, and taking thek secrets and mysterious arts with them, entered an occult realm where they remained till today.

Gantzs translations capture the cadences of the original tales so that the reader can get a feel for how they must have sounded to their original audiences. The selected tales also give insight into the Celtic culture, showing clearly their value of warcraft and battle while also portraying their acute sensitivity to beauty. After having assigned this book to college-level World Lit students, however, I have to say that the translations arent as accessible to the casual reader. Many of my students found the tales confusing andunfortunatelytedious. With that in mind, newcomers to Irish/Celtic myth and folklore may wish to begin their exploration with a more modernized text before delving into this one.

NEWPORT HOUSE Grainne O'Malley - Pirate Queen Home Dinner The Cellar Mythology ... Westport The area around Newport has impressive scenery and a countryside which, for all its barrenness and sad history, has an exciting splendour. Here the light changes quickly and whole landscapes seem to move as mist rises from the mountain face or a sword-ray of sunshine slashes its way across the heather to rest on a greenish-golden hill. And always at the feet of dramatic cliffs is the sea - turbulent, calm or restive, carving its way inland through tortuous deep harbours. The mythology of the region is reflected in its bleak natural beauty and its pockets of soft prettiness. Its history and prehistory, from early days until quite recent times, are recalled by a wealth of man-made features. Traces of ringforts, souterrains, blessed wells, primitive inscribed crosses, from later times ruined abbeys and castles, and the Mass rocks of penal days may all be discovered in the countryside surrounding Newport. The outstanding figure of local history and legend is that of Granuaile, Grainne O'Malley, the "most famous feminine sea captain" who defied the English commanders in the struggle to subdue Connaught under Queen Elizabeth I. Around the shores of Clew Bay there still stand several castles associated with her name, notably Rockfleets and Kildonnet, the ruins of Castleaffy and the castle on Clare Island.

98. Tapestry, Weaving Together The Myth, History And Archaeology Of Ireland belief system. Major alteration is especially apparent in the available recordings of PreChristian irish myth. An early redaction http://www.danann.org/library/arch/irishmyth.html

ost of us seem to generally view our mythology as one large panorama of glorious wonder tales. We seldom consider the wide panoply of action and telling of the tale that must have taken centuries or perhaps millennia to unfold. We lack the ability to bring our Hero's of the past into any kind of historical context. Such a short-sighted view limits our understand of the marvelous mystery of our myth, and occludes much of the glory of our Irish Celtic heritage. Of course, myth is generally vague by its' nature. Usually it embodies the stories of ostensibly historical events in a manner which attempts to describe the world view of a people in a specific period or explain cultural practices, beliefs (including religious) and natural phenomenon. Thus it is partially a product of bias on the part of its authors and even more subject to the bias of its reviewers. Over a period of time, when old and fading copies of manuscripts are being written in fresh intelligible print, the re-recording scribes could, and frequently did, make certain "corrections" of the original to fit their current belief system. Major alteration is especially apparent in the available recordings of Pre-Christian Irish myth. An early redaction might include "explanatory" glosses in the margin which, in a later redaction still, would become part of the body of text. Even worse, some scribes in their Christian zeal would alter the copy to reflect their own privately held convictions. Others eliminated material they disagreed with or worse, created new material that vastly altered the content.
