Paige finally gets her chance to make everyone listen to a story from Irish Mythology. Tune in to hear about an Irish epic centered around a cattle raid and a protagonist with the weirdest superpower.
Mythology & Folklore: Irish
- Most of this came from the preface of the Tain
- Wikipedia got Paige through the info on the Morrigan and Lugh
Paige Presents Fun with Comics: Get real bookish and check out The Reference Desk podcast, hosted by two librarians and discussing the topics that fascinate them the most.

Creative’s Corner: This week, Jennifer is recommending another webtoon, Unholy Blood. Recommended if you’re into vampires, action, gorgeous art, or badass kween protagonists.
Discussion Questions
- Tale Foundry suggests that one of the reasons that Irish mythology isn’t as popular, and also is an excellent choice for writers, is because there are a lot of holes in the myths. It isn’t as tightly constructed as say Norse Mythology or Greek Mythology. What do you think about this?
- Cuchulainn is used as a propaganda tool by Northern Ireland. What do you think about harkening back to a glorified past based on mythology?
