Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Foray of Queen Meave and Other Legends of Ireland´s Heroic Age The ´Foray of Queen Meave,´ the longest of the following poems, is founded on and in substance represents the far-famed ´Tain bo Cuailgné,´ a tale regarded by many Irish scholars as the great Irish epic of ancient times, by others as a part only of some larger epic of which numerous portions remain, but which unhappily found no Pisistratus to combine them into a whole. The lamented Professor Eugene O´Curry has expressed his opinion that ´in the time of Senchan and St. Columba´ (that is in the sixth century) ´it was generally believed that Fergus was the original writer of the tale.´ ´On this supposition it must have existed in a rudimental form a little before the Christian Era.
