...he searched hither and thither for a fortnight, till at last he found that island, which was an island indeed with the sea over it and around it and beneath it. There dwelt the red-haired ocean-nymphs in glittering palaces among the sea-flowers...

Ich bin allen Ernstes letztes Jahr einmal abends wieder aus dem Bett geklettert und habe nachgeschaut, ob die Rewe Bio Finn-Toasties als "nordische" oder "nordirische" Spezialität beworben werden.
Es ist "nordisch" und "Finn" meint wahrscheinlich Finnland, ich muss aber immer auch an Finn MacCool denken, den "legendary hero of old Ireland", den Flann O'Brien in "At Swim-Two-Birds" so schön auf die Schippe nahm.

Deceived by the splendid sight of Midac`s palace that was surrounded by magical rowan trees, #FinnMacCool entered and made himself comfortable in the grand banquet hall. Midac came in, stared at them, and departed without a word. It was then that Fionn and his warriors realized that a trap had been set. They had been deceived by a glamour and were really being held hostage in a crude shack. One after another of the #Fianna warriors came to their rescue, with Diarmait finally lopping off Midac’s head.
