Was Queen Medb Really Just a Jealous Woman?

✨Take the Class Heroes and Villains of Ancient Connacht - https://irishpaganschool.com/p/connachtheroes1

Was Queen Medb (Maeve) of Connacht truly just a jealous woman, or is there more to her story?

In this episode, Jon O'Sullivan from the Irish Pagan School explores the often misunderstood character of Queen Medb from the Táin Bó Cuailnge. Exploring her motivations, Jon reveals the complexities of Medb's character beyond the superficial image of envy and jealousy.

He explains the dynamics of her marriage to Ailill, the significance of her equality demands, and how the famous bull, Donn Cuailnge, was central to her maintaining status as Queen of Connacht. 

Uncover the real reasons behind Medb’s actions in the Ulster Cycle and how her story has been misrepresented through the ages.

Learn more about the fascinating figures of Irish mythology and explore Jon's class on the heroes and villains of ancient Connacht at the Irish Pagan School.
