"A pivotal Irish myth which tells the story of the Tuatha Dé Danann fighting to overthrow the oppression of a stingy king, Eochaid Bres, and his paternal relatives, the Fomorians, The Cath Maige Tuired is full of valuable information about the beings usually viewed as the Irish Gods and includes well-known figures like the Morrigan, the Dagda, Lugh, Oengus mac ind Og, and Ogma. This text represents a full English translation from the original Irish manuscript, including the poetic sections normally not included in other published versions. The version offered here is a more literal translation in the spirit of the older text. It includes only the English language material."--Back cover.
