The Celtic Heroic Tradition in Myth & Legend

By Thormod Morrisson and Pall Thormod Morrisson

A collection of ancient tales ranging from the heroic to the grotesque and macabre brings the

Celtic mythological world to life.

A druidic tribe clashes with the hordes of the underworld over possession of a sacred island.

The curse of a wronged goddess plagues a people during their time of greatest need.

A supernatural hero stands singlehandedly against the invasion of the territory he has sworn to protect.

A doomed king cannot avoid his fate when he violates all taboos.

The warrior feast of feuding clans becomes an epic contest for the champion's portion.

And over all, a female battle fury who can take the form of a crow claims her sacrifice in blood and slaughter.

This collection from the Irish Mythological and Ulster Cycles includes the Battle of Maige Tuired and the T in. Each section is accompanied by detailed and informative commentary and analysis as well as additional sections on The Warrior Image / The Sword / Honor, Power & Prophecy / The Cult of the Head / Ogam / Geasa & Attainments.
