Titel 6 Irish Myths and Legends (Exam)

Irish Myths and Legends
This theme focuses on the older history, mythology and legends of Ireland. In order to gain an understanding of Irish traditions, culture, values and historical background prior to the English rule. This is our non-UK and non-US theme as it does not relate to Northern Ireland but rather to the very specific history, mythology and culture of Ireland prior to the British Invasion (the succesful one).

We have explored the mythological creatures of Irish folk tales such as banshees, druids, witches, fairies etc. We have learned the legend of Queen Maeve and the bulls of Cooley and we have looked at the history of Ireland from 100-1625 where the English had established Henry VIII as King of Ireland (1541) and he dismissed parliament, thereby ruined the tribal system, which had consequences for the Tudors in terms of unrest and rebellion.

Key terminology:
Mythology (similar to fairy tales):
- Elements of magic
- Home away home composition
- Moral of the story (lessons to learn)
- Flat characters

Legends:
- Portrayal of the hero/heroine

History:
- Irish traditions, values, societal structures and culture throughout the ages.
- Timeline. What happened when?
