Week 4 February 22nd Conor MacNessa
This week began with an outline of a model of Eras of a Civilisation based on the writings of historian Arnold Toynbee and Classicist Jean-Pierre Vernant. We then moved on to a telling of the life of Conor MacNessa from Aoife Doyle who wove together the various strands of Conor’s life into a compelling story. Karina Tynan then gave further insights drawing from her Tain: The Woman’s Stories, in particular the Deirdre and the Meadbh stories.
