#MythologyMonday: „When the shinbones of #Fionn Mac Cumhaill‘s mother were thrown into Lough Derg, they immediately came alive as #Caoranach. The serpent swam instantly to shore and swallowed Conan, but Fionn`s son fought his way out from her belly, killing the serpent in the process. When the hero emerged, he was both skinless and hairless, thus earning the name Conan Muil, “bald Conan.” The blood of the dying serpent stained the lake red, hence its name (“Dark Lake”).“
