A murderer, some (possibly) cartwheeling giants, and the worst hidden affair in Ireland before Terry Keane, welcome to the invasion of partholon!

This episode of Whisper of the Winds Podcast covers the second invasion of Ireland according to Irish mythology, focusing on Parthalon and his followers.

It discusses the origins of the legend, its various sources, and how it evolved over time. The story details Parthalon's arrival in Ireland, his establishment of various 'firsts' in the country, conflicts with the Fomorians, and the eventual demise of his people due to a plague.

Narrator, Amanda Cunningham, provides historical context, interpretations, and her own commentary on the mythological elements.
