Fled Bricrend, The Feast of Bricriu is a medieval Irish tale translated and annotated by M-Bocht and Moelmuiri M. M. The story revolves around a feast organized by the notorious Bricriu, who invites three Ulster heroes to compete for the title of the greatest warrior. The competition turns into a series of dangerous challenges, including a fight with a giant, a battle with a monstrous boar, and a race on horseback. The heroes, Conchobar, Cu Chulainn, and Laoghaire, are accompanied by their wives and allies, who also participate in the challenges. The feast is full of intrigue, betrayal, and violence, as Bricriu manipulates the heroes and their companions to achieve his own goals. The book provides a vivid and entertaining glimpse into the world of ancient Irish mythology, with its complex social structures, heroic ideals, and supernatural elements. The translation is faithful to the original text, while the annotations offer valuable insights into the cultural and historical context of the story.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
