Gods and Fighting Men is a collection of ancient Irish myths and legends, retold by Lady Augusta Gregory. The book is divided into three sections, each focusing on a different group of characters from Irish mythology. The first section tells the story of the Tuatha de Danann, a group of supernatural beings who were said to have ruled Ireland before the arrival of the Celts. The second section focuses on the heroes of the Red Branch cycle, including Cuchulainn and Queen Maeve. The final section tells the story of Finn MacCumhail and the Fianna, a group of warriors who protected Ireland from invaders.Throughout the book, Lady Gregory's retellings are vivid and engaging, bringing to life the rich world of Irish mythology. The stories are full of magic, adventure, and romance, and offer a fascinating glimpse into the beliefs and values of ancient Ireland. Whether you are a fan of mythology, folklore, or simply enjoy a good story, Gods and Fighting Men is a must-read.Now it chanced at that time there were three brothers of the Tuatha de Danaan living together in a place that was called Druim na Teine, the Ridge of the Fire, Goibniu and Samthainn and Cian. Cian was a lord of land, and Goibniu was the smith that had such a great name. Now Clan had a wonderful cow, the Glas Gaibhnenn, and her milk never failed. And every one that heard of her coveted her.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
