Fenian Cycle
The
sagas in the Fenian Cycle are mostly based around the legendary
figure of
Fionn Mac Cumhaill and the
Fianna who were a band of Elite
Hunter-Warriors in Ireland. The Fianna protected the
high king of Tara around the 3rd century a.d. The
Fenian cycle is also sometimes referred to as the
"Ossianic
cycle" because of the various sagas surrounding
Oisín. Like the Ulster Cycle the
Fenian Cycle contains a vast amount of tales but I have just included
some of the more popular stories on this site. |
