A standard public-domain gateway to the Ulster Cycle beyond the bare Tain text.
Rolleston's retelling of the Irish Mythological Cycle: the invasion myths of Partholan, Nemed, the Firbolgs, the god-race of the Tuatha De Danann and the Milesians, the battles of Moytura, the early Milesian kings, and the otherworld voyage of Maeldun.
