The poet Finegas spent seven years fishing for the salmon. when he finally caught it, he instructed his apprentice, Fionn Mac Cumhail , to boil it for him. Fionn burned his thumb when spattered with some of the cooking and immediately sucked on it to ease the pain. He instantly gained all the knowledge of the world. When he brought the cooked meal to Finegas, his master saw a fire in the boys eyes that had not been there before. When asked by Finegas, Fionn denied that he had tasted the fish. When pressed, he admitted his accidental taste. It was this incredible knowledge and wisdom gained from the Salmon of Knowledge that allowed Fionn to become the leader of the Fianna , the famed heroes of Irish myth. REFERENCES |
