Not enough people speak of the Tuatha. It is one of the greatest and most mysterious mythologies. Tolkein drew from it a lot.

[@tuathadesidhe1530]

I think he took more from the Norse beliefs, which if you go far enough back - are all related.

[@cindyleehaddock3551]

Not too tough to find out some if you want to. I was just researching one branch of my ancestry and found the Annals and other translated books. I got merrily distracted looking into them! Great stories!

[@michaellavin3473]

@Easttowest you can find in a collection of Irish tales “the tragedy of the sons of tuirean” Tuirean is pronounced Turin, one of the biggest heroes of the Silmarillion. Helm of Helm’s Deep is greatly outnumbered at his death, after killing off most of his enemy, he ties himself to a standing stone to keep himself upright so he can continue fighting. Even after he finally dies, he does not fall and the enemy is afraid to approach him. This is exactly how Cuchulainn, one of the great Irish heroes, dies. All the elves in Tolkien are basically the Tuatha De Danaan. It isn’t covered in this video but after the Tuatha invade Ireland, the Milesians invade and defeat the Tuatha. They agree to get half the Island. The Tuatha get the half below ground. They live in the hills. The Tuatha live forever, they are immortal. As it says in the video, they are beautiful. They also live on islands over the sea to the west Tir Na Nog and Hy Brasil. If you know the Hobbit, Legolas’ people live underground in Mirkwood. In the Silmarillion, the elves live underground in Menengroth and Nagarothand. Tolkien took from many sources, not just Norse mythology. He didn’t want to make a carbon copy of Norse myth. There is Roman history, Christian influences like Milton’s Paradise Lost, Dante’s Inferno, Greek myth, Finnish myth and lots more. People hear that he took the names of Gandalf and the 12 dwarfs in the Hobbit from the Eddas and say “Norse”. There is a huge Celtic influence whether he would admit it or not. I believe Tolkien had a bit of a bad opinion about Ireland because through the early part of his life they were fighting, and succeeding, at leaving the United Kingdom and as someone who had a great love of England, he probably did not like that.

The Irish God's are so cool and powerful if only the world knew more about them

[@77wolfblade]

Sadly, a lot of records. Written about them is either lost to time or never written down or destroyed.

[@inazonitobe737]

@@77wolfblade I think you might be surprised by how much exists. Compared to other countries a lot of this stuff is incredibly well documented or kept in the form of artifacts. If you look into it on the book side of things we have a lot of preserved books that are over 1000 years old. As for buildings and artifacts, we have so many that they aren't considered special here by a fair amount of people. When you live in a place where ruins are just everywhere it's not as weird to you. Like just in terms of the Tuathe De Denann, there's Newgrange which is over 5,000 years old and believed to belong to the Dagda. There was also bones of a body inside which they sequenced the genome of. They studied and gave incredibly insightful data on the kind of group said person would've come from based on his dna. Then beside Newgrange you have Knowth, also over 5000 years old. A place so full of stone age stone carving art that of the over 900 pieces of stone age carving art in Europe, over 600 of those are in County Meath Ireland alone and a fair majority of that amount is just in Knowth.

[@inazonitobe737]

@@77wolfblade If you ever feel in the mood to read some irish books can find pdfs online to read The book of the dun cow (dated to be made before 1106 because that's when the author was killed, so at least 916 years old), the Book of Kells (dated to the year 800, i.e- at least 1200 years ago) and the Annals of the Four Masters published in 1636 which aimed to cover all of irish history. Online you can find pdfs of the legit originals, so to read them you just need to translate with an aid or be able to read the language/find someone who can. That's irish for Dun Cow and 4 Masters, latin for book of kells I believe. There's other books out there but these ones spring to mind as a starting point.

[@inazonitobe737]

@@77wolfblade I agree that a lot of records are gone, which is sad and really sucks, but we frankly do have way more to go off than most countries and I see that as a blessing. Like you can outright just go inside Newgrange. You can go to the any variety of castle, round tower, ruin.. and some are well protected, maybe even requiring tickets to go in like Newgrange does (but it literally costs you 10 euro to go inside) but most of these things are just around us in Ireland we considered normal. Like on the way out of my village there's a lot of ruins along the way with signs that say stuff like "Old ruins. Don't touch. Dangerous" etc Our history is still surrounding us. It's pretty cool.

[@cindyleehaddock3551]

When I was younger, there was Hercules and Xena on TV. Both series visited Ireland and introduced their mythology to folks. One reason I loved both series was the way they went into myths of so many nations!

He butchered Tuatha de Danann

[@eamonosullivan2702]

It's very well told and presented. Pronunciation of Irish words if you're not familiar with it, is quite difficult. Tuatha dé Danann phonetically in English would be similar to "Tooha day dannun"

[@roonocerus]

You're mad. This guy never bothered to do the slightest bit of research into pronunciation of irish words. Fir bolg is "feir buh-lug" not "fur bowlg". Tuatha de Dannan is "Two-uh de dah-nun" not "twa-thuh". These aren't esoteric words, they're composed of basic irish words. And then there's "Sreng", which he swings wildly with in pronunciation (as well as "dannan") like he's trying to hedge his bets. In irish "s" is pronounced like "sh", like "Sean" or "Siobhan". This is simple stuff that anyone could have figured out if they spent two seconds.

[@eamon281]

[@付宽-x2q]

considering how popular JRR Tolkien's work is and how heavily it is influenced by celtic traditions, it is a bit weird that people around world know about the celtic mythologies much less than other mythologies

[@31957TurtleDove]

That passes me off. It seems like European and Scandinavian myths are never taught. They are just as important as Greek and Roman myths. In fact, I think they are more important.

[@cccrit]

i feel it’s because those myths were from the societies who dominate culture today. Europe being a leader of western culture - and america another leader being originally from europe.

[@flyingstapler1241]

​@@cccritThis doesn't make any sense. By that logic, non-Greek European and Native American myth would be more popular than Greek and Egyptian myths.

[@thisisanalt]

Missing some key context here. The earlier settling tribes were wiped out and the Nemedians (the tribes that followed Nehmed) were simialrly defeated and dispersed, some going into Britain and basically disappearing from Irish myth, some into 'The North of the World (spoiler alert), and others to Greece to become slaves and return as... The Fir Bolg, or men of the sack. When the Tuatha De Danaan came to conquer Ireland, it was really the Fir Bolg fighting their own cousins who turned into gods.

[@mercianthane2503]

Spoiler alert: the Fir Bolg and the Fomorians are one and the same. Most of the invasions describes are just retellings of the same story, altered by Christian monks to fit the Biblical timeline.

Quite the collection of inaccuracies, if you count Lebor Gabala Erenn. The Dé Danann were not to be the celts (a people group spread much further than just Ireland) but the dominant gods of Ireland. They were later defeated by another people who took over the island, but came to worship Dé Danann after a peace treaty where the latter was assigned the underworld to live in.

I was in for a great surprise! Animations were great! The flow of the story was captivating. The only petty critique I can offer is the subtitles. The captions would show "Fear Bulg" instead of "Fir Bolg" (or "Firbolg" or "Fir Bholg" according to wikipedia) and other similar misspellings. But like I said, it is a petty critique. Great work! Definitely going to go down a rabbit hole on your channel!

"Nuada of the silver arm." Maybe the winter soldiers character from Captain America was based on him

You need to know that there were people in Ireland, before the Celts.

The people od Danu/Anu/Ana - thats probably us in Austria 😂. Danu is the river Danube (celtic local deities are always female) , we had the celtic kingdom of Noricum, but our roots are also much older. ( I live in Salzburg, which is quite near to Hallstatt for example) As for better weapons, iron from Noricum was renowned, and the Romans wanted it, but I used to think that that was after Hallstatt

These stories should be taught more in our schools instead of the European stuff that is taught now. Keep it local. Many stories and local history was handed down through generation to generation from many a family in Ireland. Our stories are shared with those in Scotland our kin Alba the land of the Irish. Before being named Scotland especially the western and southern parts of Scotland belonged to the people's of the north northwest of Ireland the O'Neil O'Donnell ect of Niall of the nine hostages forebears and descendants ruled the land as Saint Colmcille Columba as he was also known was granted lands of Iona from his kinsman the king of the western isles. Colmcille being a great grand son of Niall of the nine hostages thus a Prince himself. 🤴 Built a monastery on the island along with in Derry-Lderry and on other locations throughout Ireland and Northern England and in Scotland. These places became great places of education and preserved the customs traditions folklore and historical information and faith heped to bring back the faith back to the rest of the known world which was plunged into chaos during early the Dark ages. If it wasn't for monks like Colmcille Columba and Columbanus Europe wouldn't be Europe today nor the world of Christianity itself.
