A few Parallels between the Old-Norse and the
Irish Literatures and Traditions.
In reading the Corpus Poeticum Boreale, Oxford, 1883, I
noticed the following points of similarity between the Old-Norse
and the Irish literatures and traditions.
vol. I. p. 16: The Lesson of Loddfafni. „A wise mentor
is supposed to be addressing his youthful pupil Loddfafni, just
as King Lemuel is admonished by his mother, Prov. XXXI.“ A
similar piece, called Tecosc Flatha, `instruction of a Prince’ or
Tecosca Cormaic `precepts of Cormac’, is found in the Books of
Leinster, Ballymote and Lecan, and is the subject of a paper by
O’Donovan in the Dublin Penny Journal for Dec. 29. 1832. Here
the mentor is Cormac mac Airt, King of Ireland about AD. 250,
and the pupil is his son Coirbre Lifechair. Compare also the
set of instructions given by Cúchulainn to his pupil Lugaid in
Windisch, Irische Texte, pp. 213, 214.
vol. I. p. 53: Ermanarik has Svanhildr trodden to death
under the hoofs of his horses. So according to the Tripartite
Life, (Rawlinson B. 512, fo. 27. a. 2) "Patrick was enraged with
his sister Lupait for the sin of lust, which she committed, so
that she became pregnant." He causes his chariot to be driven
over her thrice, and she dies.
vol. I. p. 161: Angantheow’s sword tempered in venom. So
the spear called Luin Celtchair maic Uthidir must be quenched
in a caldron of poison, when it expects to slay anyone (is écen
core co neim día fábdud intan frisáilter gnim gona duine, Lebor
na huidre, p. 95 b).
vol. I. p. 464. The giant Suftung ... took the dwarves and
carried them out to sea and set them on the reefs the tide runs
