A Celtic 'David and Goliath' battle and classic 'overcoming the master' trope from the Heroes Journey Archetype.
In this story the tricksters Breton Knight Tristram defeats the Irish giant and champion known as the Morholt.
This is the first part of the love story 'Tristan and Isolde'
Tristan and Iseult is a medieval chivalric romance of a similar courtly tradition of the legends of King Arthur and the Knights of the round table.
Like those stories, the story of Tristan and Isolde comes in many versions and is most likely based on earlier Celtic Folklore. It features love potions, battles with giants and dragons, Irish magic, pirates and witches and a tragic end.
The tale has parallels in the Welsh Mabinogion as well as the Irish myth in the Finn cycle, 'the pursuit of Diarmuid and Grania'.
It also has parallels with Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet as well as Pyramus and Thisbe.
It comes in many versions, by Thomas of Britain and Joseph Béroul in the 13th Century, to Richard Wagner's opera, to a great version by storyteller Martin Shaw, which I borrow from a little here.
Bedtime story with the crow, send me right off to sleep in a good way
Thank you darling heart 🙏 that was brilliant ☀️
Another crow! Thanks
So cool that you guys are playing with the stories of old. Love it ✨🫶🏻✨
Wow. Love this. Back into the still beating heart of where everything after the flood began. Looking forward to part (2). Great Bard telling yet again. Thank You.
More to come!
Another fascinating story. Tristan and Iseult is famous but I had no idea of this earlier story, nor of Tristan's association with the gods/spirits of the sea nor the Dionysius connection. Have recently come across your podcast just the moment had decided to explore the musical roots of my own heritage after decades playing blues and jazz.
I must admit, the Dionysus connection was made by a storyteller I know called Martin Shaw. It's just so insightful that I can't unsee that now. So its a part of my version too. Its just there. But Tristan being very much a being connected with the sea, with its ebbs and flows, its tricksy nature. That's always been there.
Just found your channel today. Been listening all evening while i cook and knit. I know there was a lot of lore around weaving and knitting. Would love to hear the stories.
Welcome aboard! Hmm. There are a lot about weaving and knitting. Like the old yarns themselves. Stories are always knitted into each other 😅
The best version I've ever heard! Congrats storyteller!
Lovely to hear, thank you 🙏 🌊 ☘️

Thank you! Ive done part two. It’s on there somewhere. Yet to do part three but I will! Probably when I’m in Cornwall in the summer 🙏

Didn't know that Tristan was trained how to dress an animal 😂
When I was in Uganda recently with my daughter. We visited her partners family in rural Western Uganda. A great honour was accorded us with the sacrifice of one of the family's goats. The whole thing was so much more respectful of the chosen animal. First a prayer was said in honour of its life before it was trussed and had its throat cut. then it was hung from a tree head down and a neighbor came and skinned the animal. It was done with great precision and skill. Very slowly and carefully so that the animals skin was complete minus the head. Of course no part of the animal was wasted.
I couldn't resist. Sorry. 😅
@@scathatch Yep. I have no problem with eating meat if the animal is respected like that. Thanks for watching.
We didn't come over and beat up Cornish men.......well not to often anyway
