one of the tragedies of Irish Myths is called the Children of Lir where the evil stepmother turns the three kids into Swans for 900 years. This along with a lot of Irish myths were all rewritten by monks to have a whole isn't it great that christianity came ending complete losing what the original stories were along the way.

The quote at the end is Saxon and from Beowulf. It wasn't supposed to be there but someone clipped it from my signature when i sent the pm with the story. I didn't bother complaining

Why didn't you tell me?
That bit at the end put me off the whole story. I thought you were being too pretentious by including Gaelic, which nobody would understand.

I have no idea what Gaelic looks like.
I assumed that Tonyblack's signature was Welsh and yours was Gaelic. :shifty:

Heres an example of something written in Irish using the Gaelic script

Ċuaiġ bé ṁórsháċ le dlúṫspád fíorḟinn trí hata mo ḋea-ṗorcáin ḃig

 

[poohcarrot]

..and that's completely different to your sig, is it?
The "d's" look similar.

True enough. the translation of the irish one is -
A greatly satisfied woman went with a truly white dense spade through the hat of my good little well-fattened pig

The Saxon text is -Gæð a wyrd swa hio scel! ("Fate goes ever as she shall!").
