Abhartach is a dwarf sorcerer-king of Ulster legend who would not stay buried. In the version Joyce printed in 1870 he is killed and interred upright three times, and only burial head-down ends his returns. The blood-drinking and the term 'walking dead' belong to later tellings, especially Bob Curran's. The story is regularly proposed as an Irish source for Dracula, though the claim remains speculative.1 2

Apa kata sumber

The name is an Irish word for 'dwarf'1 2

Killed and buried upright, he came back twice before a druid advised burying him upside down1 2

Some tellings credit the killing to Fionn mac Cumhaill; modern ones name a chieftain Cathain1 2

Modern retellings call him one of the neamh-mairbh, the walking dead, and add blood-drinking1 2

His grave is identified with the Slaghtaverty Dolmen in County Londonderry1 2

Bob Curran argued in 2000 that the legend may have influenced Bram Stoker's Dracula1 2
