The Táin

The Táin (or Táin Bó Cúailnge) is the central heroic saga of the Ulster Cycle in Irish mythology. It details a great cattle raid by the forces of Queen Medb of Connacht against the province of Ulster, primarily driven by Medb's desire to possess the Brown Bull of Cooley. The story is renowned for its epic scope, vivid descriptions of battles, and the heroic figure of Cú Chulainn who single-handedly defends Ulster while the rest of its warriors are incapacitated.
