Ireland's most exciting saga [G]is, undoubtedly,
[F#]Tain [Bm]Bo Cu[A]ailgne ( The
[C]Cattle [D]Rai[Em]d[B]
[A][D][Em][B]
[A]of [D]Coo[Em]ley
), the center[B]piece of the Ulster [A]cycle of Heroic
Tales.
Normally re[D]ferred to as "The Tain", it deals
with the conflict [Em]between
The forces of Connacht and [B]Ulster for
possession of a [A]prize bull.
The events of the Tain are estim
[D]ated to have taken place in Ireland
[Em]Approximately 500 [B]B.C. The earliest written version
[A]of[D][A][D]
[A]the Tain known
To us is con[Bm]tained in the Book of the Dun
Cow, which dates from the 12th
Century. Before this the story was kep
t alive by storytellers.
Two other manuscript versions are also
available; the 12th century Book
Of Leinster and the 14th century
Yellow Book of Lecan. The Tain, as
Ireland's equivalent of the Aeneid,
has long intrigued historians, academics
And writers
