For this one-of-a-kind event with the National Museum of Ireland, join Ellen as she takes the stories further, linking them with real-life artefacts from our ancient past.

Ellen Ryan is a journalist and contributor to the Irish Times and Irish Independent. She has a passion for Irish myth and loves to visit archaeological sites (though she always brings a raincoat). Along with her husband and daughter, Ellen is lucky to live by the sea in Co. Wicklow, where she can keep an eye out for sea gods.
