Talk:Undrentide

Meaning of undrentide?

I wonder, what the word means and where it comes from?

I don't think Shadows of Undrentide was the first to use it either. --Argav ۞ 16:55, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

According to this webpage, it is found in the the poem "Sir Orfeo". http://wolfweb.unr.edu/homepage/dcronan/middleEnglish/texts/orfeo.html The webpage writes, "This poem was composed in the late thirteenth or early fourteenth century in the South Midlands, perhaps in London. The text below is from the Auchinleck manuscript, which was copied between 1330 and 1340. Those of you who are familiar with Ovid's Metamorphoses may recognize the origin of the story in classical mythology. But here the story as been recast as a Celtic tale of the other-world." Undrentide seems to mean "late morning".

Authorship and Provenance

Some of these tracks are traditional, but some are recently written or updated but keeping to mediaeval style. It would be good if the main page could include this information - ie for traditional or anonymous tracks it could give the provenance and for written tracks it could acknowledge the author and composer. --jer16 19 April 2012 —Preceding undated comment added 18:22, 19 April 2012 (UTC).[reply]
