Episode 145 - Battle Rage - Friuch

Welcome back to the Candlelit Tales Podcast, and back to the Battle Rage Series. This year we decided to choose lesser known characters from the Ulster Cycle, and tell their most interesting stories. This is the story of Friuch, the swine herd of Munster. Friuch once had a close friend called Rucht. The two of them shared a lot in common, as they were both swine herds. But jealousy got between them, a bitterness and a hate so strong it could only have started with love. Friuch lost his mind to the hate, as did Rucht. They fought, and they forgot everything else… and then they woke up as Bulls. The White Horned Bull of Cruachán and the Donn Culaigne. This story is told by Aron. Music is by Oisín Ryan & it is produced by Oisín Ryan You might recognise the characters in this series from the Táin saga. These stories stand alone, linked by one connection: the different manifestations of their Battle Rage.
