In Mesca Ulad "The Intoxication of the Ulstermen," the Ulstermen attempt to go from one feast in Ulster to another feast in Ulster (while intoxicated) and end up in Munster. The description of their journey is pretty much just a list of roughly 32 names of places that they pass through. It's not so fun to read for a modern audience, but I wonder at what point in the list the original audience would have realized how far off track they were and started to laugh. #CelticStudies #Irish #Medieval
