This is the story of Cu´ Chulainn, the Hound of Ulster, and of how he stood his ground, along with his charioteer Lao, against the great host of Ailill and Maeve. Here, we read of his youth, of how he got his name, of his single combat with Ferdia, and of the deadly quarrel between Ailill and Maeve which led to the taking of the Brown Bull of Cooley.
Ta´in Bo´ Cuailnge was written in the 11th Century and was translated into Modern Irish by Darach O´ Scolai´.
