Talk:Spear Luin

the description of the "element" of the spear seems to be an artifact of modern new age writers, rather than an accurate description of how the spear was viewed historically. though someone is attempting to overrule me on this, i do think that it is not appropriate to this article. i'll be happy to relent on this if someone can show a citation of an old source indicating that it was described as having an "element" of fire.

Gae Bolg?
i've looked, and i can find nothing from the extant tradition which supports the idea that Lugh's spear was equated with the Gae Bolg of Cúchulain. if someone can find a cite to support that, feel free to return the info, but without any citations, i felt it best to simply remove the probably spurious information.

 * They probably made it up for lack of material, like they did with Lorelei. Raijinili 03:19, 6 April 2006 (UTC)


 * I think you guys are right, but mention of the Gáe Bulg could be moved to a 'see also' section since both are, after all, Irish spears of mythical significance. Anybody might innocently come to the one article when they really meant to search for the other.

Merge?
Am I right to think that the subject of this article and Spear of Lugh are the same, and should be merged? QuartierLatin1968 18:11, 14 April 2006 (UTC)


 * seems appropriate to me. Spear of Lugh is also the more likely name to look for. Whateley23 14:08, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
