In my case, it's relatively well-known. I grew up a stone's throw away from the pine barrens and I used to hear stories about the Jersey devil at every campfire. That being said, I know the world has an interesting array of folklore and urban legends. What was yours if you had one?

Did you have a regional urban legend growing up? If so, what was it?

V mojem primeru je to razmeroma dobro znano. Odraščal sem le streljaj od borovih gozdov in ob vsakem taborniškem ognju sem slišal zgodbe o Jersey devil. Kljub temu pa vem, da ima svet zanimiv spekter ljudskega izročila in mestnih legend. Kakšna je bila tvoja, če si jo imel?

Ali si imel regionalno mestno legendo, ko si odraščal? Če ja, kakšna je bila?

So, I want to begin by pointing out that Old Irish and Old Welsh are the oldest vernacular literature(no relation to Vulgar Latin) languages in post-Roman Europe. Old Irish(Goidelc) was written before Anglo-Saxon English and Old High German: this created a lot of cognitive dissonance among who I will call the Anglo-British. People may fact check this, but the forces of Oliver Cromwell destroyed many Irish manuscripts, which is part of why our old literature in our own ancient language seems disjointed: even then we still have a wealth of writing dating back over 1000 years.

The "Táin Bó Cuailnge/Cattle Raid of Cooley" is currently known as the national epic of Ireland, Cú Chulainn being a central character, who stood up to the forces of many to defend his province of Ulster in what could be called a civil war. Pretentious people mock in The Táin what they praise in The Iliad, tbh the descriptions of landscapes show Tolkien was influenced by Irish stories even though he insulted them as ugly and chaotic(his English bias, which caught on in the world sadly as Anglo culture gained hegemony.) When not mocked as boring, it is mocked as mindless action. When not mocked, the Scottish and British Unionists try claiming Cú Chulainn was in fact a Pict, and not an Irish Gael, a Pict being associated with Scotland. This gave me the idea to simply write or begin work on a national epic myself, this time with the focus being Fionn Mac Cumhaill who has a lot of stories set in the East, Midlands and South of Ireland.

Fionn is the son(mac) of Cumall, Cumall who was killed in battle by Goll(one eye) Mac Morna. He was raised in the forests of Ireland by 3 bandit warriors, 2 women and 1 man. He was born under the name Demne, but when he fought and killed multiple boys when he was a child himself, he was nicknamed Finn/Fionn, which means blonde/light(the Welsh equivalent is Gwyn.) He would grow up to father many children, the most famous being his son Oisín. 

Over the centuries, Fionn, his son Oisín and grandson Oscar were depicted fighting many battles including the Battle of Ventry defending Ireland against foreign invaders. In later popular folklore, he was depicted as a bumbling giant, but that is not what I would include and I see the comical giant as a different character with the same name. 

My aim is to connect the stories of Finn and his family and warriors into one cohesive epic, in an appropriate method of verse(poetry) to inspire not just the Irish but also the Scottish and Manx who identify most of all as Gaels with a hope for a Gaelic Revival. Before The Iliad and The Odyssey were epics, they were collections of stories that had to be edited with additions and redacted with subtractions to get the polished, finished work of literature. Even if I cannot succeed, my idea may be planted as a seed in the minds of talented people from Ireland and Britain who see merit in my proposed new epic from a recently living storytelling tradition.

A new national epic for Ireland

Torej, želim začeti s tem, da opozorim, da sta staroirski in starowelski najstarejša jezika ljudske književnosti (brez povezave z vulgarno latinščino) v post-rimski Evropi. Staroirski (Goidelc) je bil napisan pred anglosaksonskim angleščino in staro visokodevščino: to je povzročilo veliko kognitivne disonance med tistimi, ki jih bom imenoval anglo-britanci. Ljudje lahko to preverijo, vendar so sile Oliverja Cromwella uničile številne irske rokopise, kar je del razloga, zakaj se naša stara književnost v našem lastnem starodavnem jeziku zdi razdrobljena: kljub temu imamo še vedno bogastvo pisanja, ki sega več kot 1000 let nazaj.

"Táin Bó Cuailnge/Raida goveda Cooley" je trenutno znana kot nacionalna epika Irske, Cú Chulainn pa je osrednji lik, ki se je uprl silam mnogih, da bi branil svojo provinco Ulster v tem, kar bi lahko imenovali državljanska vojna. Pretenciozni ljudje se norčujejo iz Táin, kar hvalijo v Iliadi, iskreno, opisi pokrajine kažejo, da je bil Tolkien pod vplivom irskih zgodb, čeprav jih je žal označil za grde in kaotične (njegova angleška pristranskost, ki se je žal razširila po svetu, ko je anglo kultura pridobila hegemoni). Ko ni bil posmehovan kot dolgočasen, je bil posmehovan kot brezmiseln akcijski film. Ko ni bil posmehovan, so škotski in britanski unionisti poskušali trditi, da je bil Cú Chulainn v resnici Pikt, in ne irski Gael, Pikt pa je povezan s Škotsko. To mi je dalo idejo, da preprosto napišem ali začnem delati na nacionalni epiki sam, tokrat s poudarkom na Fionnu Mac Cumhaillu, ki ima veliko zgodb, postavljenih na vzhodu, v osrednjem in južnem Irskem.

Fionn je sin (mac) Cumalla, Cumall, ki ga je v bitki ubil Goll (eno oko) Mac Morna. Vzgojen je bil v irskih gozdovih s 3 banditskimi bojevniki, 2 ženskama in 1 moškim. Rodil se je pod imenom Demne, toda ko je kot otrok sam bojoval in ubil več fantov, so mu nadeli vzdevek Finn/Fionn, kar pomeni blond/ svetel (velški ekvivalent je Gwyn). Odraščal bo in imel številne otroke, najbolj znan je njegov sin Oisín.

Skozi stoletja so bili Fionn, njegov sin Oisín in vnuk Oscar upodobljeni v bojih, vključno z bitko pri Ventryju, kjer so branili Irsko pred tujimi napadalci. V kasnejšem priljubljenem ljudskem izročilu je bil upodobljen kot neroden velikan, vendar tega ne bi vključil in vidim komičnega velikana kot drugačen lik s istim imenom.

Moj cilj je povezati zgodbe Finna in njegove družine ter bojevnikov v eno kohezivno epiko, v primernem načinu verzov (poezije), da navdihnem ne le Irce, temveč tudi Škote in Manx, ki se najbolj identificirajo kot Gaeli z upanjem na keltsko obnovo. Preden so bile Iliada in Odiseja epike, so bile zbirke zgodb, ki so jih bilo treba urediti z dodatki in redakcijami, da bi dobili izpopolnjen, končan literarni del. Tudi če ne uspem, se morda moja ideja lahko zasadi kot seme v mislih nadarjenih ljudi iz Irske in Britanije, ki vidijo vrednost v moji predlagani novi epiki iz nedavno živeče pripovedne tradicije.
