Episode 149 - Battle Rage - Emer

Candlelit Tales Irish Mythology Podcast

Show Notes Welcome back to the Candlelit Tales Podcast, and back to the Battle Rage Series. This year we decided to choose lesser known characters from the Ulster Cycle, and tell their most interesting stories. This is the story of Emer and the only time she experienced jealousy so fully it brought her to a battle rage. The story is also known as ‘The only Jealousy of Emer’ or ‘The sickbed of Cúchulainn’. Emer was Cúchulainn’s equal, and the one woman who could argue and hold her own against him. She had the 7 gifts of womanhood, was beautiful beyond comparison and therefore never thought she would lose the love of her life, despite his frequent infidelities. She knew he would return to her no matter what. She gave him every chance, over and over again, until that is, he met with the faerie lady Fand… This story is told by Aron. Music is by Oisín Ryan & it is produced by Oisín Ryan You might recognise the characters in this series from the Táin saga. These stories stand alone, linked by one connection: the different manifestations of their Battle Rage.
