Irish mythology is one of the richest in Europe, second only to Greek and Latin. Various principles existed for classifying legends, or sagas. One was the assignment of tales to a particular cycle. This edition includes sagas from the mythological and historical (also known as the royal) cycles. This body of texts includes a number of "old-time" legends and other surviving sources recounting the life, customs, and military exploits of the Irish people in the distant past. The conquest of Ireland and the establishment of Christianity there occurred relatively smoothly and brought the Celts a written language. Furthermore, some continuity remained between the previously practiced Druid cult and the new religion. You will read about these glorious times, the main Irish saints, and "old-time" in this book. It is intended for historians, students of history and philology, and anyone interested in the history of medieval Europe.
