"The Cattle-Raid of Cualnge (Tain Bo Cualnge): An Old Irish Prose-Epic" is an epic from Irish mythology, often called "the Irish Iliad." Queen Medb of Connacht launches a war against Ulster to steal a legendary bull. Due to a curse, only the young demigod Cú Chulainn can defend his homeland. He wages a guerrilla campaign and faces champions in single combat at fords, aided and threatened by supernatural forces. The epic depicts months of heroic battles, divine interventions, and the ultimate confrontation with his foster-brother. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
