Celtic Studies (03/27)

This would be one of Camulus's favourite lessons. Mainly because he was in it.

"And now, my dear class, we continue our look at the Fenian Cycle of Fionn mac Cumhall." He writes 'Cumhall' on the board and then writes his own beneath it. "The name Cumhall is a derivation of my own. I was a god of war in Scotland and Gaul, and in Ireland I was the father of the great hero Finn. Sadly, I never met the boy myself but his deeds added to my own fame." See? He loved talking about himself. So he proceeded to do so for the next fifteen minutes.

Eventually he reluctantly returned to Fionn, going over the stories of the birth and boyhood deeds of Fionn rather quickly.

"Any questions about anything we've covered this class?"

[[Sorry for lack of class the last couple of days. Life is eating my brain. I've found some summaries of the Fenian Cycle so you don't have to wade through the full versions.]]

Phoebe is very interested in seeing said books as she loves seeing stuff about her favorite teacher and friend. Besides, he's one of the few whom she can talk to and plot with.
