He Stands Alone Summary:
|
Randy Lee Eickhoff continues his work among the Ancient Irish with several preludes that lead up to Ireland's national epic, Tain Bo Cuailnge. Eickhoff's translation is made on the basis of nine manuscripts, the oldest going back to 1100 AD with fragments dating to 8AD. The story itself is from several centuries earlier and falls curiously between the Mythological Cycle and the Ulster Cycle. Here is the story of Cuchulainn, who has become to the Irish what Achilles is to the Greeks. A mystical and enigmatic warrior, his dedication to country and to king proved so inspirational that his concept of an Irish warrior standing alone against formidable odds was adopted by the Irish rebels as a rallying cry in 1916. This is his story, as he stood on the outskirts of Ulster, facing an enemy crouching in on all sides. |
