    S3 EP17 — The Lie Behind The Children of Lír
    Nov 6 2025

    In this episode we look at The Fate of the Children of Lír and explore how Ireland's most famous myth is not a myth at all. In fact, it's a Christian parable in a shape of myth. A bit like a child who's been turned into a swan.


    The artwork for this episode is THE CHILDREN OF LIR. THE ENCHANTMENT by Jim FitzPatrick.

    A slight diversion from our current series on mythology to look at a unique connection between Ireland and Palestine.
