Crane Driver Folklore: Hero raised by non-human (26) RE: Folklore: Hero raised by non-human 17 Feb 13


Our local saint, St Cenydd, was allegedly cast adrift in a reed boat and brought up by seagulls on the cliffs of Worm's Head, a tidal island. The Celtic saints were a rum lot, by all accounts. Does mediaeval hagiography count as folklore for your purposes? Do 'saints' count as heroes? If so, there are probably other examples.
