Arrington Utilizing a feminist hermeneutical inquiry, my research through three Celtic goddesses—Aine, Grian, and Brigit—shows that the sun was revered as feminine in Celtic tradition. Additionally, I argue that through the introduction and assimilation of Christianity into the British Isles, the Virgin Mary assumed the same characteristics as the earlier Celtic solar deities. The lands generally referred to as Celtic lands include Cornwall in Britain, Scotland, Ireland, Wales, and Brittany in France; however, I will be limiting my research to the British Isles. I am examining these three goddesses in particular, in relation to their status as solar deities, using the etymologies of their names to link them to the sun and its manifestation on earth: fire. Given that they share the same attributes, I illustrate how solar goddesses can be equated with goddesses of sovereignty. Furthermore, I examine the figure of St.

OF IRELAND DUBLIN AND CORK 1927 seAn inglis agus a cho., LOCH GAKMANj DO CaiLÓBHUAIL AR ROBIN FLOWER FHORADLIM an DÍOLAIM SEO MAR BHEAGCHÓRTHA MÓRMHBASA — PREFACE It is liow six or eight years since the eighty poems comprised in the present volume were first collected by me with a view to publication. Most of these poems have never before appeared in print. I have divided the book into two parts, each with its own notes and vocabulary, in the hope of making it the more accessible to students. The poems range in date from about the twelfth century down to the early nineteenth. They deal with a variety of subjects—friendship, poverty, natural beauty, and so on, but not with love, which has already a whole volume to itself in Dánta Grádha. They are often of unequal merit ; but of the best of them it can be said with confidence that they are poems of which any Uterature might well be proud. In selecting the poems I have armed at giving preference to those which are simple in style and which can be appreciated to-day by a reader who is unequipped with special knowledge of Irish history or genealogy. Accordingly I have in general avoided the official panegyrics and elegies composed by the poets of the schools, and also the more formal kind of devotional verse as practised by the same poets.

  • The Dagda, Thor and ATU 1148B: Analogues, Parallels, Or Correspondences? 1
    The Dagda, Thor and ATU 1148B: Analogues, Parallels, or Correspondences? 1 JOHN SHAW University of Edinburgh Abstract Since ancient times celestial thunder gods have been a familiar feature in mythologies throughout the Indo-European language area. Their Irish counterpart, the Dagda, is a major personage at the centre of the Mythological Cycle, and his possible connections to the Scandinavian god Thor are examined here. Following a brief section dealing with questions of methodology, points of comparison are addressed which include the two gods’ common primary role as defenders of their realm; their place in the assembly of gods; their principal weapons and implements (iron club/hammer/harp, cauldron); their associa- tions with cosmology and artisans; and their visits to the abode of their monstrous adversaries, incorporating elements of the burlesque. Both gods appear in versions of the international tale ATU 1148B ‘The Thunder Instrument’ (Thor in the Old Norse poem Þrymskviða, and the Dagda’s recovery of his harp from the Irish Mythological Cycle), and the nature of the parallels between the two versions is examined. The question of a borrowing during the Viking era, or of an inherited body of tradition possibly from Indo-European times, is discussed: the international tale type also leads to the myth, at a further temporal and geographical remove, of the Greek god Zeus and the theft of his thunderbolts. A proposed sequential account of the development and evolution of both gods from remote antiquity is provided. Keywords: Thor, The Dagda, comparative mythology, Celtic mythology Thunder gods, with their all-powerful thunderbolts and hammers, have featured prominently in mythological traditions from Scandinavia to India, providing parallels that have suggested a variety of ancient common origins (West 2007, 238–55).
