Deirdre of the Sorrows

'Deirdre of the sorrows' is probably the most well-known pre-Christian Irish (i.e. Celtic) legend.

Deirdre is dead, and Naisi is dead; and if the oaks and stars could die for sorrow, it's a dark sky and a hard and naked earth we'd have this night in Emain.

This is the end of the dramatic story (as written by Edmund John Millington Synge).

You can listen to music inspired from this legend here, here and here.

Read the complete story in the original here.

If your Greek is good, then this is the link of the radio-theatre play of Deirdre of the Sorrows.

Many thanks to the Greek radio-theatre blog for this info.
