The Salmon of Knowledge
Click here to listen to an introduction to this Legend.Long ago in the River Boyne, there lived a famous salmon called the Salmon of Knowledge. It was called this because if you caught it,and tasted it, you would get all the knowledge in the world.
But there are many ways you can taste something and
this is what caused the problem in this story.
There was a man called Finnéigeas that was trying to catch this fish all his life.He eventually caught it. He felt very very happy when he caught it.
He had a young boy with him when he caught the fish.The boy's name
was Fionn. Fionn was staying with Finnéigeas to learn all about poetry
from him, because he was very wise. He sent Fionn to light a good
fire.And while the salmon was cooking on the spit Finnéigeas was
preparing the table.
