The triads are a slightly random collection of texts which served as memory aids for storytellers. The ideas they present are more like ‘supplementary’ information about events or individuals. My aim will be to cover the triads which mention characters from the Mabinogion, The Old North, or who are generally considered deities (around 60 triads) grouped into categories.
To enjoy this class, you need a working knowledge of The Four Branches of the Mabinogi, and characters/events relating the The Old North. (Suggestions for reading/viewing to get you up to speed will be provided in advance.)
You will also need a copy of Trioedd Ynys Prydein by Rachel Bromwich. You can get a hard copy for $30 in the US, somewhat less for an e-book. (There are alternatives to Amazon.)
What to expect from this class:
Weekly online class includes my presentations, Q&A sessions, moderated discussions. Classes usually last around 90 minutes.
Access to class recording if you need it. I strongly encourage you to attend the Zoom
sessions as much as you can.
(Recordings may not always include class discussions, but will always include all presentations.)
Weekly notes. You will receive a PDF after each class. Notes will include:
- Important points and graphics from the presentations
- links or citations to any texts referenced in the presentations
- links and citations to further reading on the topics covered, which you can follow up on, if you wish.
