The Power of Storytelling in Irish Universal History

The main idea in Irish universal history revolves around the concept of a remnant from previous civilizations, such as before the flood. This remnant carries forward through storytelling and poetry. The emphasis is on the importance of poets and poetry in passing down stories and traditions. The Colloquy of the Elders of Ireland highlights the essence of storytelling and the significance of knowing details like who had the seven greatest hounds of Ireland or the best horse. The connection to Troy is questioned, with a focus on whether the Irish developed the story or primarily believed in their connection to people before the flood.
