The Battle Of The Genii is a fragment of epic poetry presented in three cantos, purportedly translated from an ancient Erse manuscript attributed to Caithbat, the grandfather of the legendary Irish hero Cuchullin. This unique work, rendered into English by the author of Homer Travestie, offers a glimpse into a lost world of myth and legend. The poem, while incomplete, provides valuable insights into early Irish storytelling traditions and the heroic ideals of the time. Its enduring appeal lies in its connection to the rich tapestry of Celtic mythology and its contribution to our understanding of ancient literary forms.
