Early Irish Myths and Sagas

Author(s): Anon, Jeffrey Gantz

Mythology, Spirituality & Religion

First written down in the eighth century AD, these early Irish stories depict a far older world - part myth, part legend and part history. Rich with magic and achingly beautiful, they speak of a land of heroic battles, intense love and warrior ideals, in which the otherworld is explored and men mingle freely with the gods.
