![]() ![]() William Butler Yeats and others writing on the subject borrowed heavily from this work. These tales with commentary were first published in T. The term appears in two tales set in Ireland published in the 19th century: " Lady of Gollerus", where a green-haired merrow weds a local Kerry man who deprives her of the "magical red cap" ( cohuleen druith) and " The Soul Cages" where a green-bodied grotesque male merrow entertains a fisherman at his home under the sea. ![]() The merrows supposedly require a magical cap ( Irish: cochaillín draíochta Hiberno-English: cohuleen druith) in order to travel between deep water and dry land. Merrow (from Irish murúch, Middle Irish murdúchann or murdúchu) is a mermaid or merman in Irish folklore. ![]()
