The Second Battle of Mag Tuired begins with a recount of the first battle, the conception of Bres and his ascension to the kingship. It tells how the Tuatha De Danann, who had conquered Ireland, fell under the authority of the Fomorians and fought this battle to end that oppression. It is a prime source of information about the former Celtic gods. This edition of Elizabeth A. Grays translation of The Second Battle of Mag Tuired (Cath Maige Tuired) is specially formatted with a Table of Contents and pictures of Ireland and characters from Irish folklore.
