Summary
Today we are talking about the Táin Bó Cúailnge, also known as the Cattle Raid of Cooley, which is an Irish Saga from the Ulster Cycle of Sagas. The Ulster Cycle includes around 80 stories about the people of Ireland beginning around the 1st century. The Tain itself was first written down in around the 12th century. The translation of the Tain that I’m using is by Ciaran Carson created for Penguin Classics. Thank you for listening to Medieval Murder!
