Meeting the Tuatha Dé Danann
in the Cath Maige Tuired
The Cath Maige Tuired (The 2nd Battle of Moytura) is a classic and central part of the Irish "mythological cycle". It is useful for introducing many of the Tuatha Dé Danann in clear characterisations, and tells a good story in the process. The text is not particularly long or difficult, so we should be able to explore it at a relaxed pace.
There is required reading for this class. Most of it is available on line, but I would like everyone in the class to have a copy of Morgan Daimler’s inexpensive translation of Cath Maige Tuired. (Please make sure that it is this translation, and no other! See below for advice on purchase.)
The class will meet on Saturdays, at 12 noon Pacific/3 pm Eastern/8 pm UK (GMT)
Dates: January 15, 22, 29 and February 5, 12 (2022)
I strongly encourage students to attend classes in person, but recordings are available on request if you miss a class.
