Talk:Buile Shuibhne

Perplexing redirect

Suibne Geilt redirects here, but is not mentioned in the text. I have this Suibhne G. as the speaker of a 12th-century Irish lyric in Early Irish Lyrics, edited and translated by G. Murphy (Oxford 1956), pp. 138–141 (number 47). My feeling is that if I type in a phrase and am redirected to a page, the lead section should tell me why I'm there, or I should be redirected straight to the relevant section. Or at least the phrase should appear in the article. Cynwolfe (talk) 02:21, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

Yes, I had the exactly the same sentiments as Cynwolfe. So I added "Suibne Geilt" next to "Mad Sweeney" where it belongs.

Another issue here was failure to recognize alt spellings ("Suibne" as opposed to "Suibhne" etc.) , so I did that as well.--Kiyoweap (talk) 18:30, 21 June 2016 (UTC)

Alternate deaths?

The plot section seems to have two variant deaths-by-spear for Shuibhne... it would be great if an editor with more knowledge of which is told in which primary source could add that info! ‑‑mjgilson^T 17:08, 10 July 2015 (UTC)

Poem

Hi

Is this actually a poem? No where in the article does it state that, just that it is "an old Irish tale", and "The poetry in the story of Suibhne"

Can someone explain how this is written? THe English translation I have seen has a paragraph or two of text, then poetry stanzas, then more text, then another poem ... Chaosdruid (talk) 13:24, 11 March 2019 (UTC)

Circumstances of death unclear

I understand the rumors of a tryst and the jealousy of the cook's husband. I understand the spearthrust as the actual method of death (murder, I'd say). I even understand a meal of milk (a little weird, but ok). What I don't understand is her making a hole in "the cow dung" with her foot and putting the milk there, which is where he drank from. Huh? Where was the dung? In a field? In the courtyard? In the wall of a house, which I'm assuming may often have been made at that time with the help of dung? As a sort of dish? I can't figure it out. It may be easily understandable in the original story, but enough details seem to be missing here that it's confusing. --Cromwellt|talk|contribs 00:33, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
