Grainne She is to be married to Fionn MacCumhaill (Finn), but at their wedding feast, a sudden breeze lifts the long locks of hair of the handsome Diarmuid(Dermot) and she sees the magical love spot on his forehead (magical because any woman who sees it falls hopelessly in love with him); She slips drugs into the drinks of everyone, and when they are all asleep, demands that Diarmuid flee with her. They run away together to the Wood of the Two Tents; so called because for their first few nights together, Diarmuid refuses to sleep with her no matter what she tries. A gigantic monster accosts her and she is rescued by Diarmuid; Grainne sarcastically remarks that at least something was interested in touching her, and Diarmuid, humiliated, moves into her tent. The new lovers are eventually found by Fionn and his band, but Diarmuid gives Grainne a cape of invisibility and they can escape. So the lovers begin traveling to stay ahead of the vengeful Fionn. Eventually, Aengus, the god of poets, appears to Fionn to plead the lovers' case. Fionn's heart is touched, and Grainne and Diarmuid are allowed to return to the company. |
