Hey, PriaposLovs
If I recall my Irish Myth and Folklore class (not to mention my Gaelige classes), the Morrigan wasn't the Dagda's wife, just one of the few females he slept with. If you can find a copy of a translation of the Second Battle of Mag Tuired, it explains the "wife" idea.

Thanks for the clarification Phyllis :)
PS You lucky person you! I had to languish through courses such as nonlinear math and econometrics :(

Not really. I am such a bookworm that I've tested out of Classical Mythology and Egyptian Mythology, and I ended up doing more teaching of the Norse Mythology class than the instructor. I did a report on Mag Tuired for my Irish Myth and Folklore class, trimming it down from about 50 pages (not including bibliography) to 10. Got knocked down a grade for too long a report, though. :P
I envy you, too, though. My math skills are abominable (although I can figure basic math but not algebra.) :{ I have to take college algebra again for the fifth time. AAAAAARGH. At least I got through logic without too many problems (except the questions about erotetic and entailment logics).

PS I'll see if I can find out if there are any of the classes I took in mythology and some of the others that are online (or perhaps a ballroom dance club somewhere around your area iyi).
