Celtice Studies || Period One || Wednesday, February 22
Phoebe was standing in front of the class. Her face was pale and she looked upset about something. The worry could have something to do with the missing teacher, or it could be due to the fact that she seemed to have lost something important that really wasn't hers to lose.
She kept looking towards the door and then ten minutes after the bell, she sighed and shook her head. No one had heard from Camulus for two days and she was beginning to get worried. It just wasn't like him to disappear and tell no one what was going on.
"Alright, guys," she said in a quiet voice. "Looks like you're stuck with me as the teacher as Professor Camulus seems to havedisappeared been detained." She swallowed and then sat cross-legged on the desk.
"Today, we're beginning the Introduction to Kings Cycle. The King's Cycle is a chronologic series that discusses the likelihood of history colliding with and marrying myth and legends."
She wrinkled her nose. "A few things to remember:
--- Monty Python was never a king in Celtic times, nor in Arthurian times.
--- Arthur/Guenevere/Launcelot were not the Holy Trinity
--- Bringing the teacher or the TA a sacrifice will not guarantee you an A on your project. However, bringing me coffee might.
---Wikipedia The library is your friend. You might want to utilize it.
That being said..."
• Chronology of Irish kings – historical characters and events colliding with myth and legend
• Assign readings (to be studied after the break):
o How Ronan Slew His Only Son
o The Adventures of the Sons of Eochaid Mugmedon "Eochaid Mugmedon ("slave-lord") was a semi-historical High King of Ireland of the 4th century who was said to be the ancestor of many of Ireland's most significant dynasties, such as the Connachta and the Uí Néill. By his wife, Mongfind, he had sons Brion, Ailill and Fiachrae. By a slave he captured on a raid in Britain, Cairenn, he had a fourth son, Niall, later known as Niall Noigiallach (Niall of the Nine Hostages)."
o Voyage of Maleduin
o Wee Folk (still have to find the link)
o The Death of Muircetach mac Erca
• Assign story summaries to be handed in at the end of the cycle – Kings Cycle and Mythological Cycle (Etain, Oenghus, etc.)
"Everyone will need to select one of the stories we have covered, including the Wooing of Etain and write a summary on it at the end of the cycle. Relax. It's not due this week."
[[OOC: Yes, I'm aware that links to anything on the Ancient Texts (dot) Org site aren't connecting. I'm hoping the site will come back up, but I am looking for secondary sites.]]
