- Dig into the Irish myth of lovers Gráinne and Diarmuid, and follow their journey as they flee from her betrothed, Fionn.
--
Gráinne, princess of Tara and bride-to-be, was furious. She had thought she was betrothed to a young soldier, bold and brilliant enough to be her equal. Yet it soon became clear she was expected to marry Fionn, a warrior far past his prime. Not willing to suffer this insult, Gráinne decided that before the wedding she would exact her revenge. Iseult Gillespie shares the Irish myth of Fionn's fury.
Lesson by Iseult Gillespie, directed by Efa Blosse-Mason.

"And the embers of rage that long burned inside him were finally quenched by tears"
Profound and beautiful 🌞
my tears followed his
I think Diarmuid has borderline personality disorder.
@@joshuataylor3550 Uh...hahaha
Or Maybe you just overthought about his emotions
The ending of this tale was a truly sorrowful, human moment. Long-buried resentment can rear up and strike even after friendship is restored, and deeply wound both parties.
Yes, because burying is irresponsible to start with. Such things must be processed very throughly. And our decency must be well trained to not get irritated by any scraps poking here n there eventually, while still at it.
Fairy tale and Myth are often made to wash away the harsh reality just like grim tale.
The grim and realistic part of this story is that king killed him for revenge for getting cucked.
@@Dontreadmycomment151 _The grim and realistic part of this story is that king killed him for revenge for getting cucked._
🤣🤣
Now this was good, having to choose between putting desires of love for yourself and your partner over bonds with people you were with for many years. This is a good myth.
I think Diarmuid has borderline personality disorder.
Not a myth where I live
probably has happened once or twice irl

People who are abusive are not people who have any right to insist on something as social as loyalty. 😑 People who go and want to force way younger people into marriages are to be throughly educated by everyone around them regardless of any power dynamics!
So cool to hear an accent from the region we're talking about
Would love to see more of this in future videos
That’s not a real, or good Irish accent
@@alimc169 Irish and British people seem to have in common that any less known regional accent they hear in media is "a bad accent".
I mean most of them are like this right?
@@Hjernespreng I mean if you look at the name of the person you’ll that are Irish themselves, although I’m also Irish and I can confirm that the accent sounds Irish enough
@@alimc169 You know our accent has like 50 variations across the island right? Plus he's clearly doing a bit of a presentorial voice, so it's not going to sound the same as in normal conversation.
You can tell he's really Irish by the fact he pronounced all the names right, unlike previous Irish mythology videos from TED-Ed
It is important to note that Fionn was also a badass, he’s just a bit older in this
Yeah, they made it sound like he was just some crusty, old fart that sat around all day reminiscing about being good at sports when he was a teenager.
yeah no he's still incredibly cool
"The embers of rage that long burned inside him were finally quenched by tears" that's the most poetic thing I have heard in a long while..
I only knew of Diarmuid because he's one of the characters in an anime called Fate/Zero 😅 glad to hear the more detailed backstory
Lancer ga Shinda
That's the first thing I thought too looking at the title! Was tryna spot the mole haha
LOL YEP one of my fav charas from zero
@@bhowmikranjan8841 No that was the Irish Hercules. But yes both of them was lancers. And both of them brave and respectable warriors. Though Diarmuid was my favorite since I am such a drama queen.
@@rasgeleisim that phrase works on many lancers anyway
As an Irishman, I must say that story was perfectly told. It was brilliantly narrated. And there was epic artwork to go with it. I could easily watch a thousand more episodes like this. Keep up the good work... 😏
Tiocfaidh ár lá 🇮🇪
I would watch a thousand more and a thousand after that just to learn more about Irish myth and the Fae folk.
one question, since Ireland is Christian, and multiple gods are not allowd, then how can god of love exist?
@Weasel ohh, thanks for telling
@@oksowhat good question, it was not always and the people kept their myths and gods alive. also saint Patrick's day is Irish and is about driving none christians out of Ireland.
@@oksowhat These myths are pre-Christian. 4th century AD give or take
Fun fact: Another man, the king of Leinster, Diarmaid mac Murchadha, actually decided to pull off what happened in the myth in 1152 by abducting one of the wife of the king of Breifne, Tiernan O'Rourke. In response, the high king Ruadhri Ua Conchobhair deposed him in 1167, and he in response, called over the Norman leader Richard de Clare, aka Strongbow, to invade Ireland, marrying his daughter to him. Diarmaid got back his throne, while Strongbow got a large chunk of Leinster. In response, Henry II was forced to invade himself so that Strongbow and any other Norman lords didn't become too powerful, and established the Lordship of Ireland, beginning English rule of Ireland.
I think Diarmuid has borderline personality disorder.
Are you depicting CK3 campaign or is it a real life story?
@@sublimefermion2205 It's a real story.
@@sublimefermion2205 Glad I'm not the only one to know those names from the game 😅
@@sublimefermion2205 its a real story lol
Ancient Culture: Exists
Eloping with the King's Bride: _Allow me to introduce myself_
As a person from Africa it's nice to see other cultures stories.
Where in Africa are you from? I’m from Senegal so just curious
@@yacinecisse1390 Senegal 🇸🇳😍 congratulations on winning the African cup! I hope to visit someday. The largest mosque in Africa and the Island of Gorée are two places in which I hope to pay respects to.
We need to know more about yours tho. Occidentalists have parched us from the history of Africa.
Indeed
Hello! Me too and I'm from Algeria
The animation is funny, and the narration is humorous and witty. Such a tragically poetic myth. One moment's hesitation over past grudges can lead to tragedy.
Also, I always enjoy Irish mythology because it gives me the chance to learn just how badly I've been pronouncing the names in my own head xD
Dude... The ending gave me chills, tbh if I was in Fionn's place, my hands would have trembled too. I can feel it.
@@williamhogrider4136
I was surprised that the king hesitated, if they had become such good friends over the years. But it definitely highlights the fact that as humans, sometimes we can't always control our lingering regrets or grudges. And the King's lingering resentment sadly caused the hesitation that cost his friend's life.
I wouldn't trust TedEd's pronounciation, they can get it wrong at times - I wouldn't pronounce McCumhaill that way at all
Or maybe it's correct but in a different dialect to the one I speak
@@ieatbananaskins7926
How do you pronounce it?
@@l.n.3372 Just Mcool
Another very beautifully narrated and animated story from TED-Ed!
They are the best ❤️❤️
I think Diarmuid has borderline personality disorder.
@@Amr-H They simply are! Great story-telling supported by engaging animations.
We Irish love our tragedies, The Enchanted Deer, Deirdre of the Sorrows, the Children of Lir, this and Oisín and Tir na hÓg. We have it all!
Not an Irish, but I love the story of Cu Chulainn.
love this series but i hope we get more from lesser known mythologies like from Africa, the Pacific Islands or those from Asia aside from Japan, China and India.
read about Ekalavya , a story about student and guru.
The Philippines has so many beautiful myths, too!
Bring back good memories. Took a class on Irish Myths back in the day with some good friends. Lovely retelling of one of my favorite myths.
Having grown up in Ireland with these stories and remaining here still! it’s both incredible and beautiful to see the work put in to bring our mythology to wider audiences! I look forward to many more of these!
I can't really remember a myth/legend that we have that ends happily. Everyone is always getting killed in battle, murdered for love, cursed to live as an swan for 900 years... and of course, enter stage left : priest who baptises them at the very end
>The story start
>The story reaching climax
>The story end
*Achievement unlocked: (Alternate Ending: Baptised by a Priest)*
What a good story.
Great animation as always, and a fascinating story. As an Irishman I appreciate learning more about our myths and legends
Everyone: Aw, true love!
Me: Um. She pull a Hades and cast a binding spell on him?
There's plenty of such love triangles in myths around the world but this one was one of the most unique ones with surprisingly multidimensional characters.
What's even sadder is that Diarmuid isn't totally to blame here. He was hesitant but it was Grianne's geas that made sure he would stick with her.
Wow, that was a great story. Loved the ending even though it was sad, it was very intimate (?) with the self evaluation of suppressed resentment caused him to lose someone he became freinds with again. More pkease!!
This was a sad but a really inspiring story! Love your videos Ted Ed!
this is my fav one from all the myths. the narrator sounds perfect and the story really hit my heart. thank you
Its great to hear an actual Irish narrator telling us an Irish folktale!
Iseult Gillespie one of the best narrators/speakers ever !
These Irish tales with narration are just so enchanting
Brilliant animation and beautifully told Irish tale… it was a pleasure to watch this gem, and I would love to watch a thousand more like this!
He is betrayed by his Master, Kayneth Archibald El Melloi as well due to Kiritsugu Emiya's machination.
I started watching Fate Zero just yesterday and he was the only spirit whom i don't know his legend
Spoiler alert: He has a happy ending
That ending paragraph tp the story was truly heart wrenching.
i love the little animation details- the smoke twisting into triskelions was beautiful
im glad you uploaded a new video!😊
My favorite Mythic series 👌👌. Please do continue to share more...
Irish storytelling and mythology is fantastic... more please
I know right?!!!
Wow, this series is so beautiful. I'm looking forward to the next instalment 😄🙏🏽
**Fate Zero flashbacks**
"Pride rests on the Blade of Chivalry!"
@@dropkickcorpse **suddenly commits sucide**
I LOVE how this was narrated in Irish accent. It makes it more fun.
Like the Irish accent that the narrator perfectly nailed.
I eagerly wait for Iseult Gillespie's videos❤️
However, Iseult, I am expecting a video on Iseult & Tristan from Ted ed (by you :p) ❤️
Boy! Didn't expect to see another Isseult Gillespie's fan ❤️
@@Kisamon I like her work! 🙂
Your Narration and Animation never fails to impress me
I love your content so much, oh my god this was beautiful! 💟💟
I haven't really taken the dive into my Irish roots to be able to pass on the legacy to my children, but after this fable, I will do better.
I am German, Irish, and Native American Sioux. My wife is Irish, Dutch, and French.
I feel it important to teach the history of our ancestors to our children.
This video helped a father strive to be a better man.
Cheers from Texas.
Something tells me neither of you are those, and you're both yanks...
Dear Ted-Ed, I wonder, if you could make videos about Armenian mythology and folklore. We have many interesting stories as well.
Irish history and legend is such an untapped treasure trove of beautiful myths and lessons. I'm honestly surprised they're not talked about more among the Western world.
Excuse me is that a Irish accent, on my favourite narrator. I am shook and very very pleased ❤️
Who did the art/animation? It's so beautiful! This is one of my favorite stories, and the narration is absolutely flawless! Big greetings from Mexico 🙌🏻
best intro ever. please never change it
Awesome story!
It should be made into a movie
Please no. It's quite short. And a short story that got adapted to a movie always forced to be long enough to watch. Even if it means adding aliens or Cthulhu to it.
Ted ed i want to say that I'm in love with your myths
He was the Irish version of Sir Lancelot of the Knights of the Round Table. In an adaptation, he had some friendly banter with King Arthur but a Japanese red head who loves swords and can cook really good beat him to it
What I heard:-
Girl is promised to old man.
She runs away with the first young-ish man she sees.
Puts the young man under her spell just incase.
Old man finally lets her go and even reaches out to broker peace.
Old man is at fault for not saving the life of the person that stole his wife-to-be and humiliated him in front of his own men.
... You know, in Greek mythology this would have been seen as divine retribution. The boar would have been sent by Zeus and Hera would have planted the seed of hesitation in his heart to make the water slip. The entire pantheon would have been on it!
Ok yeah but you need to remember that Gráinne had been promised a young warrior, and had found a man years older than her. She was pretty central to he story. She kinda just wanted to have a nice husband and accidentally started a feud
Zeus fcked anything and anyone with a whole. Not to mention Gráinne was promised to someone young.
Beautiful story , ❤ ♥ loved it ❤ ♥ 😍
Really love the pronunciation! And the accent haha!
I love Ireland. Its culture, accent, history, myths... everything. Thank you. I love your accent too.
This wouldn't be the last bad thing to happen to Diarumid. Just wait until he gets summoned in the holy grail war!
Absolutely incredible pronunciation of the Irish names.
Poor Lancer can never catch a break.
as an Irish person i really thank ted ed for getting an actual Irish person to voice over it!!TY💕
My friend called my with a long list of mistakes i made in our friendship. I felt betrayed because she forgiven me when I asked for forgiveness and also while i tried to be a better person. Seems like that my efforts werent good enough for her and when she argued me with the list of things i made wrong the friendship ended. Id been fuming for days hurting myself with the anger... the ending of this story made understand that anger and resentment can ruin our lives and the lives of others arround. I preffer to understand that she might have some issues to work on and that me holding on to anger is not benefiting me in the long run. We might not be friends anymore but i dont have ill will towards her. I wish her the best.
love it more irish myths plzz
yayyyy!!!!! more myths!!!!
Irish mythology is the best mythology even as a Latin I have to admit it
I love this!!!!
This needs to be made into a movie
He swallowed his rage but could not digest it :(
Now THIS would be a fantastic Disney movie
I love this story because there’s no clear villain. At least in this version hehe. I heard one where Fionn had 0 regrets about killing Diarmuid. Your version is better.
I felt like I was a child again listening to one of my grandparents' stories
It's like most of the stories about the Irish are dark and emotional at the same time
This video was very interesting but very good
Hey guys, love your videos! How about an animation based on the legend of Iron John? It is said that versions of this story may have even 6000 years!
Ted Ed is one of those channels with videos you can just click on without ever being disappointed. Doesnt matter what they're about
This beautiful myth deserves a beautiful film
Guys, could you do the story of the Johor king killed by the admiral? Its a cool southeast story to share, would really appreciate this story being told
Oh thank God you got an Irish narrator this time.
Excellent video. Can we have some Welsh mythology please?
Reminds me of the stories of King Arthur/Lancelot/Marian and the stories of Menelaus/Paris/Helen
Nice video.
Thanks Fate for telling me about other region myth and character
These are the best
thats where the Fate Series got one of the lancers from
Do the Rajah with Fangs! It’s a good story from Malaysia with motifs of vampirism
Awesome!
The pain expressed after great rage, a battle of man and mag(i).
Question: Is the geas spell the inspiration for Lelouch's geass in Code Geass?
Yes.
Indeed.
Also Diarmud was a character in Fate/Zero (as Lancer).
Well that was a sad ending :( Also he was literally put under a spell, so no one should be mad at him.
Is not about the spell is more about human emotions and how they drive us to good or to bad.
@@OYJluv True. But it's a logistical detail that's hard for me to turn my brain off from.
The animation is so pretty
There's no mention of Diarmuid's cursed love spot which cause Graine fall in love with him.
Is there a part 2 of this story?
Poor Lancer sure does have E ranked Luck.
Gráinne needs to learn about consent. You can't just run around placing ancient binding spells on people without their consent.
boys will be boys, who amongst has never accidentally cast an enchantment on a freind?
@@chriss780 wait, what?
@@chriss780 grainne was the girl
Maybe Fionn shouldn't bother women who are clearly too young for him. 🙄🙄🙄
I guess this is the myth that Tolkien referred to when he wrote that a king’s hands are healing hands. I always wondered where that came from.
This was a nice myth, at least they had a nice life together. And the guy at the end was sad too
That was so sad 😭
So this is how the dude ended up in the fate series
I love how this is told with an Irish accent. Awesome. 😂
Lancer ga shinda!!
Their story reminded of Lancelot and Guinevere, and Arthur's wrath when he found out both of them were lovers.
It's because that story was inspired by Diarmuid and Gráinne.
