360: Leprechauns: Lucky


Listen Later

The saga of Fergus mac Léti is, apparently, the first time leprechauns make their appearance in folklore. It's also the first time leprechauns try to kill a guy, get stuck in porridge, and offer some magical menswear.

The creature this time is the Oyaleroweck, who's thriving in the absence of knights in Canada.

We actually merged two stories of Fergus. Here's one translation of the overarching narrative: https://www.ucd.ie/tlh/trans/dab.eriu.16.001.t.text.html

Here's the inset one with King Iubdan: https://www.maryjones.us/ctexts/fergusmacleide.html
