Details

Over coffee @ the Lobby Lounge - Westin Hotel Melbourne

The Fenian Cycle, one of the four major cycles of Irish mythology, revolves around the tales of Fionn Mac Cumhaill, the Fianna, and their legendary exploits.

Set in a time between the Ulster Cycle and the Historical Cycle, the Fenian Cycle focuses on the heroic deeds, adventures, and battles of the warrior bands led by Fionn Mac Cumhaill.
