When we think about gods and goddesses our minds usually jump to the Roman Pantheon or the Greek Parthenon, but what if I told you the Irish have our own little cluster of gods and goddesses? All with their own wacky adventures, weird origin stories, and hilarious moments, they mark the first histories of Ireland and how the Irish came to be.
From the Tuatha Dé Danann and the goddess Ériu who gave the island her name, to the crazy tale of the warrior Cú Chulainn with some terrible relationship troubles, and a fish who even with a single lick of its shiny body it bestows the world's knowledge on a person... but only if they suck their thumb like a baby. Join Arron, Conor, and Hayley this week as we look into the incredible world of Irish mythology.
This episode was presented by Arron Keegan, Conor Daly, and Hayley O'Connor. The intro and outro music - Strollin' Along - was recorded by David Renda.
