Gods vs Monsters (Celtic Mythology)

Celtic mythology made visible and walkable!

Hiking to the most dramatic and mysterious place in Ireland - Moytura in Co. Sligo.

But first, watch the legend of the Battle of Moytura, or Cath Maige Tuiread in Irish. The battle between Irish Gods, Tuatha Dé Dannan, and Fómhoire, a horrid race from under the sea.

Meet Bres, who betrayed his kingship and formed an alliance to overthrow his successor. Watch Lugh becoming a prominent figure within Tuatha Dé. Be fascinated by the Good God, the Dagda's, sexual prowess and appetite. And don't forget about Mórrígan, terrifying and glorious in her might.
