fear gorta : ウィキペディア英語版
fear gorta
In Irish mythology, the fear gorta (Irish: ''Man of hunger'' / ''Man of famine''; also known as the fear gortach) is a phantom of hunger resembling an emaciated human.
According to Yeats' ''Fairy and Folk Tales of the Irish Peasantry'' the fear gorta walks the earth during times of famine, seeking alms from passers-by. In this version the fear gorta can be a potential source of good luck for generous individuals.〔Yeats, W. B. (ed.) (''Fairy and Folk Tales of the Irish Peasantry'' ). 1888.〕 Harvey relates a myth that the fear gorta was a harbinger of famine during the Great Irish Famine of the 1840s, and that the spirit originally arises from a patch of hungry grass (féar gortach).〔Harvey, Steenie. (Twilight places: Ireland's enduring fairy lore ). ''World and I'', March 1998, v13 n3〕
