Ireland

The early 20th century in Ireland saw the struggle for independence and the formation of the Irish Free State in 1922. Irish mythology and folklore, deeply connected to Celtic traditions, continued to influence modern literature, with figures like Cú Chulainn and the Morrígan remaining central to the national imagination. Modern Ireland embraces its mythological past, incorporating stories of the Tuatha Dé Danann and banshees into contemporary culture. Mythical themes are prevalent in Irish poetry, theater, and visual arts, keeping the ancient stories alive.
