The Children of Lir: The Swan and Paganism

When reading a novel, poetry, or myth it is difficult to find a theme or pattern that is similar to the text of the teaching material; when focusing on a particular thing in the same country related to Irish swan literature, This is especially true myths and legends still exist. Over the centuries, this swan has been embedded in 'The Children of Lille', one of Ireland's most famous legends that has influenced poets for centuries. You can see this legend affecting Ireland and its people by seeing this outstanding poet, Eavan Boland's "Changes in adolescence to Swan Elegy".

Lil 's son' s story comes from the Irish mythical cycle. Lil is a master of the sea. He has a wife and four children. When Lir's wife died, he married his wife's sister Aoife. Aoife Jealous Lir's children want to get rid of them. One day Oy came over to the lake with the children. When they were swimming she spelled them and turned them into swans. Under this spell, children are leaving the swan until listening to the Christian Bell. Swans swim from the lake to the river and flow for years after waiting for the bell to ring, but the child can remove the curse until St. Patrick comes to Ireland - after 900 years

Perhaps the most famous Irish mythology would be that Aoife turned her stepch, Lir's children into swans and exterminated them. Likewise, Etain Fuamnach's courtship changed ethane into a butterfly. One of the most dramatic variants of Irish myths is Tuan Mak Kailir, the only survivor of Paltron's reconciliation in Ireland. Over the centuries of his life, he became a stag, a wild boar, an eagle, and finally a squid. And it can be eaten as a human (like Ethan's courtship).

There used to be a great king named Lir before the star creatures known as Tuatha de Danaan lived in Ireland before being driven to an empty hill to become immortal. King Lir has four lovely children - Fionnuala, Conn, Fiacra, and Aodh - he likes them very much. Fionnuala is the oldest, she is as fair as the young Rowan tree, her brother Fiacra and Conn are fast and strong, and Aodh is a small boy with a small eye. Everyone in the Lir Court of White Mountain Hill likes them - their joint Aoifa is licking their father's love.

In the morning, they turned to the west toward Glora island in the west sea and settled in a bird's lake until over 300 years passed. And finally, the children of Lir came back to White Mountain - but they did not find the kingdom who stood in this place at the time. They have found all the desolated, sky, house-free, fireless furnaceless furnace stones. No one knows that they still live in the place they were born. They spent the night at the desolate place and sang the fairy's sweet music very gently.
