LIVE IRISH MYTHS EPISODE #182: The origins of Fionn mac Cumhaill, part 1

In this evening's livestream, I will return to one of the most illustrious characters of Irish mythology and folklore, Fionn mac Cumhaill. Reading from the wonderful work of scholar Dáithí Ó hÓgáin, we will take a deeper look at the origins of Fionn to see if there are cognates in Irish and European mythology. And we will examine whether the origins of his stories can be found with the deities of old.
