The history of hurling is long and often unclear, stretching back over three millennia. References to stick-and-ball games are found in Irish mythology. The game is thought to be related to the games of shinty that is played primarily in Scotland, cammag on the Isle of Man and bandy that was played formerly in England and Wales. ==Prehistoric and early historic Ireland== Hurling is older than the recorded history of Ireland.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://www.ancientsites.com/aw/Post/633637 )〕 It is thought to predate Christianity, having come to Ireland with the Celts. It has been a distinct Irish pastime for at least 2000 years. The earliest written references to the sport in Brehon law date from the fifth century.〔 The tale of the ''Táin Bó Cuailgne'' (drawing on earlier legends) describes the hero Cúchulainn playing hurling at Emain Macha. Similar tales are told about Fionn Mac Cumhail and the Fianna, his legendary warrior band. ''Meallbreatha'' describes punishments for injuring a player in several games, most of which resemble hurling. The ''Seanchás Mór'' commentaries on the Brehon Law state that the son of a ''rí'' (local king) could have his hurley hooped in bronze, while others could only use copper. It was illegal to confiscate a hurley. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「History of hurling」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
