Dindshenchas 09: Tocmarc Étaíne 1 – A Fly On The Wall
Sculpture of Étaín by Éamonn O’Doherty (Isolde’s late uncle)
The saga Tocmarc Étaíne, “The Wooing of Étaín”, is a complex and engaging tale of love, loss and time twists. We encounter jealous husbands, repudiated wives and bewildering shape-shifting, all stretching over a thousand years.
The Story Archaeologists wander through the first part this magnifigant story, rediscovering old friends and meeting some new, including a very unusual fly.

thank you for this podcast episode, I have just read an excerpt of the Wooing of Etain in the book The Wisdom of the Mythtellers by Sean Kane and this is a wonderful accompaniment,
expanding the tale greatly for me :) I look forward to listening to the other episodes.
