   #MythologyMonday: `The Irish hero Craiphtine is one of those credited with the invention of the musical instrument most connected to Ireland, the harp, this musician appeared in myths of the hero Labhraigh, whose fitful sleep he eased with his melodies. So powerful was Craiphtine’s music that he was able to send entire armies to sleep with it, making him very useful to his ruler in times of war.`
