The Ancient Irish Sagas is a book written by the former President of the United States, Theodore Roosevelt, and published in 1907. The book is a collection of traditional Irish stories and myths, which have been passed down through generations of Irish storytellers. These stories include tales of heroes and heroines, battles and wars, gods and goddesses, and supernatural creatures. The book is divided into several sections, each focusing on a different aspect of Irish mythology. The first section explores the origins of Irish mythology and the ancient gods and goddesses that were worshipped by the early Irish people. The second section tells the stories of the great heroes and heroines of Irish mythology, such as Cuchulainn, Finn Mac Cumhail, and Deirdre. The third section of the book includes stories of battles and wars fought by the ancient Irish, including the famous Battle of Clontarf. The fourth section explores the world of the supernatural, with tales of witches, fairies, and other magical creatures. Throughout the book, Roosevelt provides his own commentary and analysis of the stories, drawing on his knowledge of history and mythology. He also includes translations of the original Irish texts, making this book a valuable resource for anyone interested in Irish mythology and folklore. Overall, The Ancient Irish Sagas is a fascinating and engaging exploration of one of the world’s most rich and complex mythologies.From The Century Magazine, January, 1907.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
