Who chased the snakes from Ireland?

Answer 1

• The story of St. Patrick and the snakes is a pure legend. It never happened. There is no record, fossil or otherwise, that snakes ever occurred in Ireland since the last ice age ended over 10,000 years ago.
• I'm pretty sure it is a metaphor for the Druids being driven underground. Being that one of the symbols for the druids is the snake.
• According to scientist, snakes have never lived in Ireland. The snakes are symbolic of the pagan Druid gods he 'drove out' of the country by converting the country to Christianity.
