Celtic Fairy Tales, XV. Shee an Gannon and Gruagach Gaire., sentence 10

_Remarks_.--Here again we meet the question whether the folk-tale precedes the hero-tale about Finn or was derived from it, and again the probability seems that our story has the priority as a folk-tale, and was afterwards applied to the national hero, Finn.

Who acts: Remarks, folk tale, probability, story · What happens: meet, precede, derive, seem, have, apply · To what, where: question, hero tale, tale, priority
