Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book reveals the origins of the ancient Irish people through their sacred texts and monuments, which are shown to be not merely tombs and folklore but fragments of a rich literary tradition. The author contrasts Ireland with other European countries, which have largely lost their pre-Christian history, and demonstrates that Ireland's has been preserved thanks to its unique relationship with the heroic sagas of its ancient royal dynasties. The author argues that these sagas were not merely poetic imagination but rather a blend of poetry, legend, and historical fact. Through this lens, the text explores the lives and times of ancient Irish kings and heroes, shedding light on their worldviews, and vividly illustrating the close relationship between archaeology, history, and literature. This book is a compelling and insightful read for anyone interested in the ancient Irish, European history, or the intersection of archaeology and literature.
