Irish History in Literature
The Irish Mythological Cycle - Ireland was invaded by five successive waves of peoples.
1.The Partholonians
Ireland was inhabited by a race of cruel, misshapen beings known as
the Fomorians, thought to represent the ancient, evil gods of Ireland
when Partholon, his wife Dealgnaid and their friends sailed from the
west and landed in the western province of Munster on Bealtaine. When
the Partholonians arrived in Ireland, it looked much different than it
does today. There was only one plain, three lakes, and nine rivers.
During their stay the Partholonians cleared four more plains and seven
more lakes were formed. They built the first building in Ireland and the
first guesthouse.The Partholonians defeated the Fomorians and drove them from Ireland temporarily to the northern seas, from where they repeatedly returned to plague the newcomers. However in the end the Partholonians were all killed in an outbreak of plague. All died except Tuan, the son of Partholon’s brother Starn. Tuan survived alone into old age.
Seanfhocail Proverb
I dtír na ndall, is rí é fear na leathsúile
In the land of the blind,
a man with sight in one eye is king.
Good luck!
