"The Ancient Irish Epic Tale Táin Bó Cúalnge" by Joseph Dunn is a translation of an epic from Irish mythology, traditionally set in the 1st century. When Queen Medb of Connacht covets a legendary bull, she launches a war against Ulster. Due to a mysterious curse, only the seventeen-year-old demigod Cú Chulainn can defend his homeland. Through single combat at fords, supernatural interventions, and brutal battles, he wages a desperate guerrilla campaign
against an overwhelming army, facing warriors, goddesses, and ultimately his own foster-brother in this tale often called "the Irish Iliad." (This is an automatically generated summary.)
