The great mythological gods of the world. Zeus, Thor, Horus, Finn McCool... Sorry what was that last one?
    
    Ancient mythologies were used by the people of their times to explain the goings on in the world around them, and in the modern world are used as sources of inspiration. Whether it's Marvels 'Thor', or Rick Riordan's 'Percy Jackson' series, most people today are at least in some way acquainted with the major mythological pantheons and legends. But in all the mythologies used today in popular culture, one seems to be missing. Irish Mythology.
    
    So, for the sake of my own interest, and for the sake of teaching some of you the interesting, slightly convoluted, and often extremely bizarre world of Irish mythology, I've don't my best to connect the dots, and put together a (mostly) cohesive guide to the Irish Mythos and Folklore.
