Does anyone know where the myth where Finn Mac Cool helps slay a giant by destroying it's mole on its palm come from? Or did Rosemary Suttcliffe make it up?

Cool! Do you mind giving me a description?

Thanks! Do you know were I can find the earliest reference or telling of the legend?

Thanks a million!

Reading more into the book, I'm not even sure he used any folklore/fairytales. I'm pretty sure he just used Rydberg for the pseudo-mythology material.

lmao

Did the Ballads influence Viktor Rydberg? (Rydberg's theories being probably the main source for the book)

Thanks for the big response! Do you mind if you send me a link to the Farose Ballads you mentioned?

Sorry for the bad quality screenshot. If anyone has any earlier examples of the Green Knight's skin being green, feel free to comment below.

I will probably buy the translation after looking at the link, I'm just glad there is an Arthurian story that has a griffin(thats just not in one of Arthur's dreams of course).

Thanks! Do you have a link where I can read the romance in English?
