The oldest Irish epic, the Táin Bó Cúailnge, dates from the first or second century A.D. The title translates to The Cattle Raid of Cooley and is about the theft of a prize bull resulting in a war between Connacht and Ulster.

Cattle are wealth and life. I wonder how much the ancient Irish were like the Massai of today.

It’s a lot of fun, parts are lost because they’d been passed down in the oral tradition. It’s interesting too that it shows that ancient folks moved livestock by sea.
