S2 E6: The Fenian Cycle: Tales of Finn Mac Cumaill and the Fianna

Season 2 Episode 6 Published 4 years, 2 months ago
Description

Adam Franklin Francis Finn mac Cumaill Bishop. That has a nice ring to it! Well, it's easier to pronounce than some of these other Celtic names. In this episode, we look at the last section of Celtic mythology: the Fenian Cycle, especially the stories of Finn mac Cumaill. We look at Finn's birth and how he became leader of the Fianna, how he pursued Diarmuid and Gráinne in his old age, and how his son Oisín travelled to the Land of Youth. All this is mixed in with various rants, side topics, and references to samurai for some reason.  Follow us on Twitter! @UlmtdOpinions
