Fenian Cycle
Fenian Cycle was often called the Ossian Cycle (or Ossianic Cycle). The Fenian Cycle is a collection of stories about the warriors within a military order called the Fianna Éireann during the reign of Conn Cetchathach and Cormac Mac Airt. The main hero was Finn Mac Cumhaill. The Fenian Cycle contains many stories of Finn and his companions.
The Fenian Cycle was less violent and turbulent than previous period of the Ulaid Cycle. However, the Fenian Cycle is still filled with battles and otherworldly adventures. Apart from Finn being the principal hero in this cycle, there are tales of other heroes such as those of his son Oisín, his loyal friends Caílte and Díarmait, and even his arch-rival for the leadership of the Fianna – Goll.
