Here is the story of the mythology Irish which is called the colloquium of the two wise men.
The colloquy of the two wise men
I. Adnae, son of Uthider, of the Connaught clans, was Ireland's ollave in science and poetry. He had a son, namely Néde. So this son went to learn science in Scotland [Alba] with Eochu Echbel (Horse Mouth); and he sojourned with Eochu until he was skilled in science.
II. One day the boy walked to the seashore - for poets considered that the seashore was always a place of revelation of science. He heard a sound in the waves, namely a song of lamentation and sorrow, and it struck him as strange. So the boy cast a spell on the wave to tell him what it was about. Then it was revealed to him that the wave was mourning his father, Adnae, who was dead, and that his robe had been given to the poet Ferchertne3, who had taken the dignity of ollave in place of Néde's father.
III. So the boy came home and told (all this) to his master, ie to Eochu. And Eochu said to him, "Go home now. Our two sciences cannot remain in the same place because your science clearly shows you that you are an ollave in knowledge.
IV. Néde then left and his three brothers left with him, that is to say Lugaid, Cairbre, Cruttine. Chance made them find a wolf puff on the path. One of them said, "Why is that called puffball? ". As they did not know, they returned to Eochu and stayed with him for a month. They resumed their journey. They encountered a reed. As they did not know why he was called that, they returned to their tutor. At the end of another month, they left him again. A shoot of sanicule (herb of Saint-Laurent) was then in their path. As they didn't know why he was called sanicle, they returned to Eochu and spent another month with him.
V. Then when all their questions had been answered, they left for Cantire, after that he went to Rind Snóc. Then from Port Ríg they crossed the sea until they reached Rind Roisc: then they passed by Semne, by Latharna, by Mag Line, by Ollarba, by Tulach Roisc, by Ard slébe, by Craeb Selcha, by Mag Ercaite, by the (river) Bann, along Uachtar, by Glenn Rige, by the Districts of Húi Bresail, by Ard Sailech, which today is called Armagh, by the Síd of Emain.
VI. So went the adolescent, with a silver branch above him, for that was what was above the anruths; a branch of gold above the ollaves, a branch of copper above the other poets.
VII. They then left for Emain Macha. And Bricriu ran into them by chance in the meadow. He told them that, if they gave him his reward, Néde would, by his advice and intercession, become the ollave of Ireland. So Nede gave him a purple tunic, with ornaments of gold and silver. Bricriu told him to go and sit in the ollave's place and he added that Ferchertne was dead, when in fact he was north of Emain, teaching science to his students.
VIII. Bricriu then said: "No beardless man takes the charge of ollave from Emain Macha" - for Néde was a child as far as age is concerned. Néde took a handful of weed and he cast a spell on him so everyone would assume he had a beard. And he went and sat down on the ollave's chair and put on his robe. Of three colors was this dress, namely: covered with bright bird feathers in the middle; a rain shower in the lower outer half; and gold color at the top half.
IX. Then Bricriu went to find Ferchertne and he said to him: “It would be sad, O Ferchertne, if you were deprived of the ollave charge today. An honorable young man took charge of ollave at Emain ”.
Ferchertne became furious and he entered the palace, remained on the threshold with his hand on the stick. And there he said "Who is the poet?" A poet ”etc.
X. So the place of this dialogue is Emain Macha. The time is that of Conchobor, son of Nes. The authors are Néde, son of Adnae, of Connaught – or he is part of the Tuatha Dé Danann as it says in the dialogue: “I am the son of Dán (poetry), Dán son of Osmenad (Research), etc – and Ferchertne the Ulster poet. The cause of this exchange is that, after Adnae's death, her robe was assigned to Ferchertne by Medb and Ailill. Also the son of Adnae, Nede, came fromScotland, (as we have said) to Emain, and he sat down in the chair of the ollave. Ferchertne entered the house and said when he saw Néde:
1. Who is this poet, a poet around whom is the dress with its splendor?
2. Who will play himself after singing the poetry?
3. From what I see he is only a disciple:
4.grass is the material of his beard
5. Instead of singing poetry, who is the poet, a quarrelsome poet?
6. I never heard the secret of the intelligence of Adnae's son.
7. I never heard that he had real knowledge.
8. It is a mistake, by my letters, that the siege of Néde.
9. Here is the honorable speech that Néde gave to Ferchertne:
