Learn about the culture, society, mythology, and laws of ancient Ireland in these online video courses!
Makes history come alive! Based on in-depth research with constant attention to source material, but course also presents those facts in a way that illustrates how they affected the lives and culture of the people. I live in Arizona, so far from the home of my Irish ancestors. This class helps me understand what it means to be Irish. It connects me with my roots. I purchased the entire set, doing the culture one first, and can’t wait to begin the next one, Mythology.
