#Celtic #MythologyMonday: #Fintan mac Bochra, known as „The Wise“, could converse with the Hawk of #Achill. He didn't blame the „Grey Hawk of Time“ for hacking out his eye when he was trying to climb the waterfall at the estuary of the river Earne as a salmon.

#Fintan mac Bochra (= his mother or a reference to the ocean), lived for at least 5000 years after the Deluge, becoming an advisor to the kings of #Ireland. He survived into the time of #Fionn mac Cumhail, becoming the repository of all knowledge of #Ireland and all history.
