Not illustrated. 1903 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER V.--Emigration of Nemed and the Slaughter of Conan's Tower. I. Origin of Nemed. Hit Arrival in Ireland. Nennius, who had never heard either of Cessair or of Fintan, begins the history of Ireland with the legend of Partholon, setting out with these words: "The Scots came into Ireland from Spain." Partholon, according to him, was the first of these Scots to come into Ireland out of Spain; and after giving some details, already mentioned, upon Partholon, Nennius continues as follows: "The second to come into Ireland was Nimeth, son of a certain Agnoman, who, they say, voyaged over the sea for a year and a half, and then, having suffered shipwreck, took harbour in Ireland. He remained there many years, then, putting to sea again, returned into Spain with his fellows." The word Spain in this text is a learned translation of the Irish words mag mor, "great plain" (1); tray mar, "great strand;" mag meld, " pleasant plain," by which the Irish pagans designated the Land of the Dead, the place whence the living originally came, and their final abode. For these mythological expressions, which testify to the beliefs held in the most primitive ages, Christian euhemerism substituted the name of Spain. The legend of Tuan Mac Cairill leaves no room for doubt on this point: "The number of Nemed's company increased until there were four thousand and thirty men of them and four thousand and thirty women. Then they all died" (2). They all died: that is what an ancient redaction, now lost, rendered as: "They set sail for the Great Plain, for the Great Strand, or the Pleasant Plain," a formula in which Nennius sees indications of a return into Spain. In most of the Irish texts the legend of Nemed is more fully developed than in Nennius or in the brief...

First written down in the eighth century AD, these early Irish stories depict a far older world - part myth, part legend and part history. Rich with magic and achingly beautiful, they speak of a land of heroic battles, intense love and warrior ideals, in which the otherworld is explored and men mingle freely with the gods. From the vivid adventures of the great Celtic hero Cu Chulaind, to the stunning 'Exile of the Sons of Uisliu' - a tale of treachery, honour and romance - these are masterpieces of passion and vitality, and form the foundation for the Irish literary tradition: a mythic legacy that was a powerful influence on the work of Yeats, Synge and Joyce.
