About this listen

The Milesians are here!

Discover the mythical ancestors of the Gaelic Irish and their journey from the city known today as A Coruña in Galicia.

Íth, Míl and their crew have set sail for the island from Íth’s vision but the sea and the gods who govern it have other ideas. Before they reach their destination they must weather a deadly storm, and even then, the island beyond the waves is not exactly welcoming.

We talk about the euhemerising and re-enchanting myth, the archaeology and genetics of Neolithic and early Bronze Age Ireland, the Dingle Peninsula, Peig, languages of Ireland, and the stray sod .
