Bertie isn't familiar with Irish mythology, as his English schoolmasters as a boy were of the opinion that the Irish were not a fit example for a would-be gentleman. But he knows Greek mythology.

"Oh, like that Actaeon chap! The one who offended a goddess and she said 'Dash it all, I can't have mortals offending me, what kind of example would that show?' and turned him into a stag."

He doesn't recall the rest of the story, that the stag was killed and devoured by Artemis' hounds. He selectively forgets the more unpleasant things.

Grainne would have a few things to say to those schoolmasters if she knew.

"Actaeon...?" Maybe it's because that guy didn't sound like a hero, but Grainne can't recall anyone by that name, either from the knowledge bestowed to her or from stories in her own life. "I'm not certain, but the story goes on when Fionn mac Cumhail took her to the Hill of Almhuin where she turned into a girl again. He married her, but the druid found her again while Fionn was out fighting a battle. She turned back into a doe and disappeared into the forest, but some time later they found a boy bearing a resemblance to Fionn and the girl. His name was Oisin."

At least the story has the double duty of distracting Bertie and keeping him from seeing the couple of skeletons she silently dispatched behind him, and the other being giving her a way to focus on something other than how like the Grail War these skeleton things were.
