Talk:Threefold death

Untitled
Hey I just wrote a paper on the instances of the threefold death in celtic mythology. I'm currently working on editing it for wikipedia. I am also waiting for the prof to grad it so that I won't be in trouble for plagiarism :) Tom renault (talk) 22:37, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

Less than useful?
Two months ago you would have found the article "less than existent." I welcome your additions - I simply thought the topic was worthy of address, but was not about to load it with filler or original research. Kja er (talk) 00:53, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

I'm sorry if I sounded rude. I recently wrote a senior paper on this topic for my final. The small bit here, specifically the suggested links to Bec mac de and Aed Dub. actually directed my research helpfully. I just wanted to make it easier for others who are researching indo-european culture to find the information that they need. Tom renault (talk) 21:00, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

No, Tom, you did not seem rude. I was picking on you for your use of words, since I was the originator of the page, and until your recent and very helpful additions, no one else had added any content. Once again, thanks for your work. Kja er (talk) 03:03, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

Further Development
I added a bunch of links to the article after your last major contribution, Tom.

I separated the article into sections.

I wonder if we could use an image? Maybe the Hanged Man tarot or Odin. Kja er (talk) 03:03, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

The Hanged Man
The Hanged Man tarot card is asscoiated by some with the threefold death. It is also associated with Odin. This section could be added. Kja er (talk) 03:03, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

Odin
And Odin himself should be made into a section separate from Merlin. Kja er (talk) 03:03, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

Two additional sections
Lleu Llaw Gywffes and the Lindow man should be tied into the Threefold death theme. The Lindow man was discovered drowned in a bog, with a knife wound and a noose around his neck. Many believe that the lindow man was sacrificed. Lleu died in a prophesied manner: which some suggest was connected to the Threefold death theme. I haven't had time to research either in depth, but here's a suggestion for expansion to the article.Tom renault (talk) 20:34, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

tripartate?
It's tripartite, not tripartate. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.52.79.114 (talk) 18:04, 24 January 2017 (UTC)

Diarmuid's *quadruple* deaths
Reading this, I was a little confused by this section:


 * "Diarmuid, who is killed by Aedh, also dies a triple death:"


 * ... The manner of his death would be


 * 1) by slaughter,
 * 2) by burning,
 * 3) by drowning
 * 4) and by the ridge pole of a roof falling on his head...
 * Aedh Dubh was there and


 * 1) stabbed the High King with his spear. Wounded, Diarmuid fled back into the house. Aedh Dubh's men set
 * 2) fire to it. Seeking to escape the flame, Diarmuid scrambled into a
 * 3) vat of ale. A burning
 * 4) ridge pole fell on to his head. The prophecy was fulfilled.

Is 'slaughter'+'stabbed' not counted as a death, in this case?
