Fionn mac Cumhaill

Fionn mac Cumhaill is the central hero and leader of the Fianna in the Fenian Cycle of Irish tradition. Stories of Finn, Oisín, Diarmuid and the Fianna form one of the principal cycles of Irish heroic literature.

The High Deeds of Finn MacCool presents his childhood, leadership, victories and losses as one connected narrative. Finn is a mythological and legendary figure, not a securely documented historical person.
