"The púca (Irish for spirit/ghost; plural púcaí), puca (Old English for goblin), also pwca, pooka, pookah, phouka, and puck, is a creature of Celtic, English, and Channel Islands folklore. Considered to be bringers both of good and bad fortune, they could help or hinder rural and marine communities." (wikipedia)

In this week's #podcast on the #constellation Sagitta -- we learned there are at least 3 distinct groups of Cyclopes in #GreekMythology

Here's a primer:

Homeric --> includes the one who was famously killed by "No One"

Hesiodic --> the ones killed by Apollo, who created the lightening bolt (no, i don't know how they square this with Hephaestus)

Wall Builders --> the ones who, uh, built walls...

Listen to this week's episode to see which group is associated with this constellation's lore: https://starrytimepodcast.podbean.com/e/sagitta-myths-and-retconstellations/

Ragnorak: The End of the Gods is a 2011 novel written by English critic and novelist A. S. Byatt. Written for the Canongate Myth Series, Byatt chose to make the book about Norse mythology so she could grapple the "appalling finality" of Ragnarök. - Wikipedia

My first book by AS Byatt, and I tremendously enjoyed this take on the Norse myths with an autobiographical element of the "thin child" evacuee losing herself in these myths and trying to use them to interpret the war.
