- Good evening tavern patrons, tonight you and I shall be walking through the ancient roots and sources of the enchanting tales that have been passed down through generations in Ireland. From the heroic sagas of Cú Chulainn to the mystical stories of the Tuatha Dé Danann, join us on a journey through time and legend.
In this video, we explore:
The historical context of Irish mythology and its significance in Irish culture.
Key mythological cycles of Ireland, including the Mythological Cycle, the Ulster Cycle, the Fenian Cycle, and the Historical Cycle.
The influence of early Irish society, Christianity, and other external factors on the development of these myths.
Intriguing insights into how these ancient stories continue to shape modern Irish identity and literature.
This exploration is to give you an Idea of where these stories come from, and the issues that rise because of those sources. As you delve deeper into your study of myth you'll know what to look for, and what notions to have, below are a few extra reading resouces, should you so desire them.

Perhaps we may even have a drink in the Tavern some day 😎

You flatter me deeply my friend 🙏

👏🏻👏🏻
Good to see you again me son 👆
@@BlackDragonTavern always good to hear your stories castle glad to see your well
Could you please tell me where I can learn more about the fairies that garded the great tree?
Have you ever done a video about female hero’s like Boudicca?
I had one a long time ago, but it has probably been pulled down, we're redoing a bunch of stories because some had awful audio and were not very good. But at this request I'll make sure we have something out in the next month or so
Blood for the Blood God
Yes indeed 😎
It’s been a while since I saw one of his videos. Is it just me or is this guy voices different?
It dose sound different but that could be anything.
I used to adjust my speaking voice to sound more American, I live in the US now and most of my audience is there.
I've only recently stopped adjusting my voice to sound more likable in videos, now I just speak like I do at home, so you are correct in noticing a difference
If i was an Elf i woulnd't like this ego world either 🧙♂
👆fair enough 😅
