nadu looses his arm in battle but wins the battle against the famorians, but because he cant be imperfect with a missing arm he cant be king, then the silver arm and sword of nadu is added by the gods and he regains his kingshiip, (you dindnt put that bit in, and he has two sons), in munster and the sword of nudu. Its on the o brien and o conner flags. Its one of the four treasures of the tatha danann who came in magical clouds too connaught and one by sea , the sword the spear the rock and the beaker. the cyclope story is added by the Christians trying too kill off all the celtic gods it happend with alot of the pagan gods there are always a few different versions, its copied off david and goliath, common logic, its good though :-)

[@Chris-tt5cc]

Content like this will inspire the next generation of Europeans to seek anew their roots and their gods!

[@Steininger_Art]

Oh hey - this one was for you! Thanks for the suggestion. Keep in mind I couldn't help but get a little fantastical. Aiming at that next generation / younger audience. Cheers!

[@Chris-tt5cc]

Smile Titans Yes, thanks for doing it. I really appreciate how you made the story; as I said, it’s a good way to spark their curiosity.

[@legioxciicorvus5917]

But you do realize that the Celtic Catholics harmonized these stories with the Christian accounts, and borrowed heavily from Christianity, when I was reading the book on Irish myths and legends, this story reminded me of David and Golith.

[@Patrick-iu1wj]

@@legioxciicorvus5917 the story of David and goliath is taken from lugh slaying balor.

[@legioxciicorvus5917]

@@Patrick-iu1wj No I don't think so... it's the other way around, the Celtics myths have a Christian veneer or glosses as one author whose book I'm reading put it, most of the manuscripts known to us are from Medieval age, the 12th and 13th centuries well after Roman Catholicism had already been introduced to Britain.

Nuadha Airgeadlámh - King of the Gods, and God of Hunting and Dogs, his sword was Claíomh Solais. Lugh Lamhfhada - God of Skills, and Solar God. Eochaid Bres - God of Harvest and Agriculture An Dagda - God of Druids, Magic, Fertility and Strenght Balor - God of Blight and Scorching Sun Cían - God of Healing Dían Cecht - Physician God These are just a few of the Irish Pantheon, i do not call it "CELTIC" because, they were not exactly one tribe, but several tribes. So it is better to adress each pantheon according to it's region. This is not Welsh, nor Gaulish pantheon, but Irish.

[@stupidhandles]

Yeah I agree, in the description they link lugh to lleu llaw, might sound similar but the myths/stories are completely different.

[@legioxciicorvus5917]

The reason being is that the Q-Celtic storytelling tradition is older than P-Celtic(Welsh,Breton, and Cornish), the literary emergence of the P-Celtic group is around the 12th century I believe, and yes continental Celtic is different from the Insular group.

[@aFoxyFox.]

@@stupidhandles Lugh is also connected to Loki. The linguistics studying the language and myths see connections to these conceptually.

[@schuylerleithulfr788]

@@aFoxyFox. Lugh is much, much, much more connected with Odin.

[@allthebanter9316]

Isnt lugh potentially a storm god as well, due to the belief in Mayo that thunderstorms were the battle of lugh and balor

[@TheBlackDogChronicles]

Please set me right if I speak out of line here, but I am at a loss to guess what accent is supposed to be represented here. I was expecting that, considering the content it would be a native Irish one. However, the trilled r was just one of the multiple things that made me doubt that there was a definitive accent that was being presented. I have no desire to insult the reader but I would respectfully suggest that a character accent is best utilised when you feel fully confident in it. There were moments when I felt it roamed from sounds similar to Old English to almost Icelandic.

[@RKrk-jj2li]

I don't like my Irish roots, but I feel myself gravitating towards them spiritually. Not sure how to deal with my distain of the Irish being Irish myself.

[@fandude666]

I'm actually making a character who is the later descendant of Lugh, who was pretty much the father of the modern leprechaun race. A new rise in Formorians are reborn and force the leprechauns to build enchanted weapons and breed with to one day bring back Balor's evil eye. One leprechaun does inherit the evil eye but his mother took him away from the islands before the new formorain king discovered him. His mother a new formorian born from fairies raises her son to be the warrior his people need, naming him Mathuin(bear) for his love of eating live fish from rivers when he was just a day old. Though he prides on his leprechaun traits of crafting and trickery, he still bares resemblance to his mother with sharp fangs, pig nose, and ability to brith in sea water. The evil eye came from his father's own bloodline with Balor, the one of the many things he resents about himself.

[@celtichistory]

Why can't we get this as a movie?!

[@brettlearmonth1129]

Please source or explain " lugh was the master of the spear ' the nuadah part is right to a certain point. Not trying to sound cocky or mean but i am curious on the sling part ???

[@daniellindorff4614]

Name of music please?

[@Inndianka]

what is the etymology of these "Fomor(ians)"? it sounds a lot like russian "pomor(-y)" which means "people who live by the sea" ("po-" means "on, around, by" and "mor" is the root meaning "the sea"). Also, Balor resembles the god Vaal (Veles in russian, as russian v (в) often mutates into b in european languages, like варвар->barbar etc). I remember reading Irish tales in my teens and being amazed how closely some of those resembled russian folk tales, to the smallest details, only the names and locations were different. In russian language, every complex word can be broken into elements, which allows to understand its meaning. I wonder, what all those celtic names mean.

[@Steininger_Art]

Me as well. There's so many layers. Unfortunately for me, Russia(n) is a complete mystery. I feel like I'm missing out. Thanks for your comment and thoughts.

[@elgranlugus7267]

Fomhóraigh, probably means "Under Demons", Fo (Below, under) and Morach (Demon, spirit). Balar perhaps means "The Deadly One"

[@kareemaboumughdeb966]

Is it true Lugh gets killed by Cermait children taking revenge for him killing there father? This bad ending got me sad

[@TOUGHEYES]

I'm glad to watch this again, and to be subscribed once again. I don't think certain types like the idea of Bres being recognised, as it reflects badly upon their own leadership. And in the same breath, would be terrified of Lugh being ascendant and popularised for people's imaginations again.

[@soundofspace8026]

did you draw all of this alone?

[@EidolonSpecus]

Amazing illustration. The only thing I can nitpick is that the helmets are a bit off. The rare few celtic horned helmets that existed were not combat gear, they were probably ceremonial or parade pieces, or may have just been _curios_ among the collections that wealthy nobles would show to their guests. Kinda like today's _"gucci glocks"._ Not all armor and weapons are made for the battlefield, which is something that archaeologists and historians still fail to remembers at times.

What is with the 'Scottish' accent?

[@CherryblossomBANG]

I'm not a big fan of how in making this story "epic" you made it like... Weirdly racialized in a way that just- isn't entirely outright wrooong factually if you're making /your own adaptation/ of the primary sources, but which is inaccurate to how these tales were originally conveyed to me. Like you've made it sound to me here like the Fomorians and the Tuatha Dé Danann like fucking separate species which can only selectively crossbreed, and I just never interpreted it as them being nascently/ fundamentally different, considering that Ethniu (or Elatha for a male example) meets the beauty standards of the Tuatha Dé Danann and Lugh's father is easily able to disguise himself and blend in to enter the tower to seduce Ethniu in some versions. I always just moreso imagined it like they're two godly equivalents of different tribes of man, which would generally look a bit different because of heritage, but who would still recognize each other as human beings. I really don't have the words to articulate what I'm picking up on here but it's something. I mean imo what makes the Fomorians the "bad guys" isn't any aspect of their fictional biology I don't think- just what they're doing: ie. Trying to conquer the first people of Ireland. And I'm not claiming to be an expert in Irish myth. The myths evolved over time, and a lot of these tales were changed in how I heard them due to the influence of Catholicized retellings for example. But just... I dunno man... Not my jam. Maybe it's not anything you intended but moreso how some of your rhetorical choices were to me reminiscent of something similar that neo Nazis have been doing to Asatru religion and appropriating Norse mythology (although in this case with the jöttnar rather than the fomorians.)

Everything’s great, but the script is terrible and is not awfully well delivered. The wording is childish and unworthy of the gods. The quality of English on display here is lacking, and language is paramount to story-telling. The reader is clearly English, or has an English accent, which is nothing to be ashamed of but badly imitating some kind of Scottish turned out really rough, sounds kinda Beowulf olde English.
