Hoovooloo


Everyone I know who isn't Irish who has heard of this character has done so for the same reason - the excellent graphical adventure games Tir Na Nog and Dun Darach, released in the mid eighties for the ZX Spectrum by Gargoyle Games.

I got into Celtic mythology by going through a phase a couple years ago of reading far too many fantasy novels.

Gnomon - time to move on

Tír na nÓg is another old Irish legend, but it didn't come into the Cúchulainn stories at all. It was part of the Finn McCool series.
