The Second Battle of Mag Tuired - Paperback
Description
by Elizabeth A. Gray (Translator)
The Second Battle of Mag Tuired recounts the legendary conflict between the Tuatha Dé Danann and the Fomorians, central figures of the Irish Mythological Cycle. This rich narrative, originating from an 11th-century text, weaves themes of power, betrayal, and resilience, offering a vivid portrayal of divine and human struggles.
It explores the fall and rise of Nuada, whose kingship is tied to both physical wholeness and divine favor, and the tragic jealousy that surrounds Miach's miraculous healing. The tale also follows Bres, a half-Fomorian ruler whose oppressive reign and eventual rebellion lead to a climactic battle of mythic proportions.
With its intricate depictions of heroism, satire, and ancient lore, this text is an essential source for understanding the cultural and spiritual world of early Ireland. A timeless epic, it illuminates the enduring power of myth in shaping identity and legacy.
