Myth of the Leprechaun

Take a moment to reimagine the story of the Leprechaun, a well-known figure from Irish mythology.

Inspired by the lore and festivities of St. Patrick’s Day, take a creative leap and recast the conventional tale of the gold-hoarding, tiny green man. Should he be a hero or villain? How does he fit into a world removed from the traditional Irish terrain? Does his elusive pot of gold hold a metaphorical meaning? This prompt encourages you to explore the boundaries of myth, allegory and reimagination.
