Q3 Post15

Another myth (or legend if you want to call it that) that I read recently is called "Finn and the Goblin" which is of Irish origins. It is about a boy whose father was a prominent military leader for one of the old clans of Ireland. The father was killed before the boy was born in a clan war in which he lost. The boy was raised in secret and becomes a skilled warrior himself. He eventually gains a vast amount of knowledge due to eating a mystical slamon that gives the eater intelligence beyond belief. Finn then confronts the king of the clan and takes a challenge that will make him a prominent warrior amoung his father's enemys. Finn is asked to kill a wicked goblin that was going to terrorize the city and Finn uses a mystical spear and his vast knowledge to defeat the goblin. He returns a hero and becomes a captain in the kings military. This is kind of akward since he is more healing wounds with his enemy's rather than fighting them.
