Episode 110 Invasions Nemed - Post Show Chat

Candlelit Tales Irish Mythology Podcast

Welcome back to the Invasions Series. Today we're talking about Nemed, and the madness of a man that gave his name to the people that came with him; The Namedians This series is all about the oldest stories of Ireland, and the people who came to this land from afar over thousands of years. The third group of people from the Mythic Cycles of Irish stories were the Nemedians, led by Nemed himself. His people came from somewhere in the south as well, some say it was the Caspian sea. But although he left with 30 boards with 30people in each, only one boat made the voyage to this island. Like the people before them, they met the Fomorian, dealt with their raids and torment, and had a very different kind of battle with them. We talk about greed, and the ego of this leader that lead his people to an inevitable failure. Like and subscribe to this channel to help us grow.
