Mythology

Fintan is the husband of Noah's granddaughter Cessair and thus Biths son have been reaching with her 40 days before the Flood Ireland. Cessair and 50 other women, and Fintan, Bith and the helmsman Ladra On board the ship as the only men. Each of these three takes in Ireland 17 women as wives. Fintan is the only survivor of the flood and transformed successively into a salmon, an eagle and a hawk. He lived through the entire history of the island with all of the following land grabs by Partholon, Nemed, the Firbolg, the Tuatha Dé Danann and the Milesians finally, the alleged direct ancestors of the Celtic Irish.

A duplicity of people with Tuan mac Cairill, the hero of the story SCEL Tuain meic Chairill ( " The metamorphoses of Tuan mac Cairill " ) in Lebor na hUidre ( " The Book of the dark-skinned [ Cow ]") is unmistakable. Fintan occurs 40 days Tuan short time after the flood ( with Partholon ) on the island, but their experiences are strikingly similar. The literary context is currently not yet developed.
