Exploring the Cath Maige Tuired
Gain a Deeper Understanding of One of the Most Important Stories in Irish Mythology
Enroll in Course
An online class which explores the Cath Maige Tuired, what we know about the manuscript and author, cultural context for the story, and important details from the text itself. One of the most important tales of the Tuatha De Danann, the Cath Maige Tuired can also be one of the more difficult to read and interpret. This class dives into not only the story itself and its wider context but also discusses the controversial passages in the text and why they are essential to the wider story.
You will learn the history of the Cath Maige Tuired manuscript, why that history matters, and why choosing the right translation makes a difference. We discuss the story itself, untangling aspects that can be confusing, and the poetry which is often omitted from popular translations.
We will also explore the possible cultural
influences on the story to add context to passages that can otherwise be
difficult to understand. If you ever wondered why the Dagda is
described as 'oafish', what really happened in his meeting with the
Morrigan, what her wider role in the story was, or wanted to know more
about the poetry found throughout the text that is often not translated,
this class helps answer your questions.

Frequently Asked Questions
The biggest value in this class I thought was the immersion in the lore of the Irish deities which adds to one's knowledge, and in relating the names of the deities to more Irish vocabulary and giving that context and memory cues which always helps with remembering words in a foreign language. The Q&A was particularly valuable for additional info as well as answering questions that also came up in my mind.
