Cattle Raid of Cooley, The
- Cattle Raid of Cooley, The
irlandés Táin Bó Cúailgne
Narración irlandesa, la más larga del ciclo de
Ulster.
Fue compuesta en prosa con pasajes en verso entre los s. VII y VIII, probablemente por un autor que conocía otras epopeyas como la
Eneida. Su héroe es
Cú Chulainn, quien por sí solo contuvo al ejército de Connaught que invadió el
Ulster para capturar un valioso y famoso toro marrón. Después de tres días de batalla, Cú Chulainn obtuvo la victoria, aunque los de Connaughts lograron capturar al toro. Madb, la reina guerrera de Connaught, aseguró su superioridad sobre su marido Ailill cuando el toro marrón derrotó al toro de cuernos blancos de Ailill.
