It's #MuseumDay and #MythologyMonday is asking for our favourite #museums and artefacts. One of the artefacts I got most excited about this year was a sculpture of #Aphrodite with a slit. She resides in the Glyptothek in #Munich. One of my favourite museums is Surgeon's Hall in #Edinburgh. It has nothing to do with #mythology but there are real skeletons and tissue samples showcasing a variety of illnesses preserved in the exhibition. Just don't be squeamish 😉

#Celtic #MythologyMonday for #MuseumDay: „In #Irish #mythology, the #TuathaDéDanann were said to have played hurling with their enemies, the Fir Bolg, before the Battle of Moytura commenced.
According to Lady Gregory in her book, Of Gods and Fighting Men, this is what happened:
“It was on a Midsummer day they began the battle. Three times nine hurlers of the Tuatha de Danaan went out against three times nine hurlers of the Firbolgs, and they were beaten, and every one of them was killed.”
So the Fir Bolg won the game, but unfortunately for them, went on to lose the battle. In some versions, they actually played with the heads of their enemies, instead of a ball.“

#Celtic #MythologyMonday for #MuseumDay: Moydrum Man (dated around 700-400 BCE) is famous for what has been found in his guts: 300 sloe fruit stones! Ned Kelly, the former Keeper of Irish Antiquities at the National Museum of Ireland, explains what he believes we are looking at here: „Nobody’s going to ingest 300 sloes no matter how hungry they are. I think we can say this is a ritual meal. First of all, the sloe ripens at the end of October and at the beginning of November. That is the festival of Samhain, modern Halloween. And that is the time of year which, according to the early Irish written material, kings were killed. (The Celts, Season 1, Episode 3, 42:40)
Kelly also interprets Clonycavan Man and Old Croghan Man as “clear evidence for . . . ritual killings”.“

#Celtic #MythologyMonday for #MuseumDay: `#Diancecht had inserted a prosthesis of silver for #Nuada's severed arm, but a black beetle lived in it, causing the king terrible pain by nibbling at his wound. With the help of his sister #Airmed, #Miach was able to grow him a new arm. But Diancecht then killed his son out of jealousy and buried him in the ground. From #Miach's grave, however, 365 different medicinal herbs grew through #Airmed's tears, which she named and saved. When #Diancecht found out, he mixed them all up so that their powers were lost. Only #Airmed knew them and knew how to use them.`
