The last wild wolf in Ireland is said to have been killed in 1786, three hundred years after they were believed to have been wiped out in England and a century after their disappearance in Scotland.〔〔(Hickey, Kieran 2003, 'Wolf - forgotten irish hunter' in ''Nature Ireland'', May-June 2003, pp 10-13 )〕 ==Folklore and mythology== Wolves feature prominently in Irish Mythology. Airitech was a mysterious creature whose three daughters were werewolf like creatures, eventually killed by Cas Corach. The Irish word for wolf is ''Mac Tíre'' meaning literally the Son of the Country(side) and association with human transformation linger, and whilst some consider this is imported there are many references in Irish mythology to lycanthropes and changing to other animal forms. The Morrígan was said to take on the form of a red-furred wolf, particularly in her battle with the hero Cú Chulainn.〔''Celtic Totem Animals'' by John Matthews, Ari Berk, published by Red Wheel, 2002〕 Mac Cecht killed a wolf feeding on a still living woman on a battlefield.〔''Epic and Saga'' by Charles W. Eliot, published by Kessinger Publishing, 2003〕 Cormac mac Airt was said to have been raised by wolves, and that he could understand their speech. Four wolves would accompany him in his rebellion against Lugaid mac Con, and would later be accompanied by them until the end of his life.〔(THE JUDGEMENT OF CORMAC )〕 One tale describes how in 1182, a priest travelling from Ulster into Meath encountered a talking wolf, which revealed itself to be a man of Ossory, whose ancestors had been cursed to turn into wolves every seven years and return to their human form after another seven years had passed. The wolf explained that his wife, who was also under the curse, was dying, and he pleaded with the priest to give her the viaticum. The priest complied, and was later put on the right road to Meath by the grateful wolf.〔(Legend of Priest and Were-Wolves from Gerald de Barri's "Topographia Hibernica" )〕 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「Wolves in Ireland」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
