The Following Text Is Taken From Wikipedia..:\n\n"There are either 17 or 18 known species worldwide, depending on whether the two Eudyptula species are counted as distinct. Although all penguin species are native to the southern hemisphere, they are not, contrary to popular belief, found only in cold climates, such as Antarctica. In fact, only a few species of penguin actually live so far south. Three species live in the tropics; one lives as far north as the Galápagos Islands and will occasionally cross the equator while feeding.\n\nThe largest species is the Emperor Penguin (Aptenodytes forsteri): adults average about 1.1 meters (3 ft 7 in) tall and weigh 35 kilograms (75 lb) or more. The smallest penguin species is the Little Blue Penguin (also known as the Fairy Penguin), which stands around 40 cm tall (16 in) and weighs 1 kilogram (2.2 lb). Generally larger penguins retain heat better, and thus inhabit colder regions, while smaller penguins are found in temperate or even tropical climates. The rarest type of penguin is the yellow-eyed penguin (megadyptes antipodes) and is probably the most ancient of all living penguins. adults average about 65cm tall and the adults average weight is 5-6 kilograms\n\nMost penguins feed on krill, fish, squid, and other forms of sealife caught while swimming underwater. They spend half of their life on land and half in the oceans.\n\nDue to the gender ratio, penguins are one of the few species on the planet whose females fight over single males during mating season, due to the comparatively low number of male penguins.\n\nOne of the most baffling forms of behavior of the penguin comes when a mother loses her chick, either due to its being unable to endure its first storm, or due to other reasons such as predators. When a mother loses its chick, they have been known to actually attempt to steal another mother's living chick- presumably in order to deal with the grief of the loss. This behavior has amazed scientists, as it is an emotional outburst opposed to an instinctual behavior; something many animals do not exhibit when losing their young. Many have used this as prime evidence for decades that many animals have near human-like emotions and feelings, often for the sake of animal rights. Interestingly, the other females in the penguin groups dislike this behavior and will help the defending mother keep her chick. Another fact about penguins is that they are one of the few species of birds that seem to have no fear of people. In fact, they have been known to approach groups of explorers without the slightest hesitation."\n\nFor More, See The Link(s) Below..

It's very interesting but not surprising.  You can draw parallels between the San Patricios and the more recent struggles in Northern Ireland.  Here's another good link:\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Patrick's_Battalion

I dont know them by heart but I do know they are in the book called Popol Vuh (sacred book) and what I could remember is the previous answer, in 2012 we´re history.  You can look it up in the following site:\nwww.sacred-texts.com/nam/maya/pvgm

Read this article for starters, it will explain what they are at least, and maybe give you a starting point.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peccary

http://www.pitt.edu/~dash/folktexts.html has a few versions of folktales from different countries.\n\nI recommend going to the library, there are some nice collections of folktales and myths out there.\n\nThe most famous Irish "myth" is the story of the Tuatha de Danaan, and there is some speculation that it is actually an embellished adaptation of the history of how one group took over from earlier people, since the Children of Danae came in with superior weapons and looks and had great battles with the Fir Bolg.  I wouldn't call any of these stories "myths" around Irish people though, we tend to get a teensy bit defensive most of us, ingrained thought that even the most fantastic story has at least a grain or two of truth in it.  What's interesting is that most of the old gods had "saint" tacked on and kept most of their attributes - "St. Brigid (sometimes Brid or Bride)" is a prime example.\n\nFor German stuff, check out http://www.pitt.edu/~dash/ger1500.html which is a college course's site but has some good links.  If you're not already familiar with the Norse gods, you might check out http://www.dickinson.edu/~eddyb/mythology/Creation-1.html first for the basic creation story.  Keep in mind that there are places still where the norse gods are still honored as an active religion, not myth, so it would be nice if you kept this in mind.\n\nHope this helps, but I can tell you that you're going to find better resources in a print library for something like this.\n\n\nBy the way, the "banshees" mentioned above is an anglicized spelling of Ban Sidhe - try looking that up!  A lot of Americans, even those of Irish descent, seem to have a strange opinion of all things Irish, including songs and stories - I suppose I should blame Americanization efforts of parents along with things along the lines of "Darby O'Gill & the Little People."  It's fine to laugh at your stage paddy, I'm the first to howl at those sorts of jokes,  but know what being Irish really means too.  We gained a lot by coming to this country, but it seems the wild geese may have lost more than we gained.

Medieval Guilds were centered on trades mostly. So you could try the merchants guild. They were very strong in advocating their rights as to the privileges of the middle class. Especially when it came to not only ownership of land but also the ability to determine their own destiny.
