8、The Treasures Of Tuatha De Danann
丹努之子的寶藏
Irish Mythology
愛爾蘭神話
In Irish folklore, the Tuatha De Danann were the children of the goddess Dana. The Tuatha De Danann came to Ireland from a distant place not known to man on May Day to grant the people of Ireland sacred knowledge. They arrived with four wise men, each of whom came from four distant cities and each of whom bore a gift for the people.
在愛爾蘭的民間傳說中，丹努之子是女神Dana的子孫。在五朔節那一天，丹努之子從無人知曉的遙遠之地來到愛爾蘭。他們之中有4名智者，分別來自四個遙遠的城市。每個智者都攜帶著一個寶物，作為愛爾蘭人民的禮物。
The first gift, which came from the city Falias, was the enigmatic Lia Fail, or the Stone of Destiny—a stone that would cry out under the throne of the true king of Ireland. The second artifact came from Gorias, and that gift was the powerful Sword of Light, an unbeatable sword whose story bears some similarities with Excalibur. From the city of Findias came the Spear of Lug, a mighty spear that would be a great gift to any warrior and would keep him safe on the battlefield. The last gift came from the city of Murias, a great cauldron from which no one left unsatisfied when it cooked meals.
第一個寶物來自Falias城，是謎一般的命運之石（Lia Fail），它會在愛爾蘭真正的國王腳下發出歡呼。第二個寶物來自Gorias城，是充滿力量的光明之劍，一把無法被擊敗的劍，有關它的傳說和誓約勝利之劍（Excalibur）的故事類似。第三個寶物來自Findias城，是強大的戰神之矛（Spear of Lug），它是戰士的偉大禮物，會在戰場上保護他的安全。最后一個禮物來自Murias城，一個永不耗盡的大鍋。當用它煮飯時，沒有人會挨餓。
