Celtic Studies (03/13)

Camulus is looking well-rested and very gloaty that people had to be in class this early on a Monday the first day back from break.

"Ah, my dear class. I hope Phoebe took good care of you during my absence. I will offer you an explanation as soon as I have one." He stood up and paced to the board, writing 'Kings Cycle' on the board. "Wednesday we will begin our look at the next cycle of Irish literature, the Kings Cycle. These stories deal with the historical rulers of Ireland - with a definitely helping of myth piled a top." He began writing a list of names and dates on the board, starting at Art mac Cuinn because omgsomanynames and ending with Muircheartach mac Erca which is the best name to say aloud."

When this was finished, he sat back down. "And that is all the real work you have to do today. For the rest of the class . . ." He smirked. "Tell me a story. It could be something you did over break. It could be something you did as a child. It could be one of the stories we told in class. Just tell me a story in true Celtic fashion."

Macbeth tells an epic story about a king who ruled Scotland with a naieve stupidity, and about the brave thane who stood against him, killing him and taking the throne to rule the land in all his wisdom. The story then turns strange, and tapers off with babble about walking trees and a man who wasn't of woman born. There may or may not be grumblings of witches interjected occasionally under his breath.
