Cuailnge, centre-piece of the eighth-century Ulster cycle of heroic tales, is Ireland's greatest epic. It tells the story of a great cattle-raid, the invasion of Ulster by the armies of Medb and Ailill, queen and king of Connacht, and their allies, seeking to carry off the great Brown Bull of Cuailnge. The hero of the tale is Cuchulainn, the Hound of Ulster, who resists the invaders single-handed while Ulster's warriors lie sick. Thomas Kinsella presents a complete and living version of the story. His translation is based on the partial texts in two medieval manuscripts. 606 $aEpic literature, Irish$vTranslations into English 606 $aHeroes$zIreland$vLegends 606 $aMythology, Celtic$zIreland 606 $aTales$zIreland 615 0$aEpic literature, Irish 615 0$aHeroes 615 0$aMythology, Celtic 615 0$aTales 676 $a891.6/231 701 $aKinsella$b Thomas$0131949 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910786071603321 996 $aThe Ta?in$93795982 997 $aUNINA
