The Colloquy With The Ancients is a book written by Standish Hayes O’Grady. It is a collection of Irish myths and legends that have been passed down through generations. The book is divided into three parts, each of which contains a number of tales. The first part contains stories of the Tuatha De Danann, a mythical race of people who are said to have inhabited Ireland before the arrival of the Celts. The second part contains stories of the Fianna, a group of warriors who were renowned for their bravery and skill in battle. The third part contains stories of the High Kings of Ireland, who ruled the country in ancient times. The book is written in a style that is both poetic and engaging, and it is clear that O’Grady has a deep love and respect for the stories he is telling. He has also taken great care to ensure that the stories are presented in a way that is accessible to modern readers, without losing any of their original beauty or power. Overall, The Colloquy With The Ancients is a fascinating and enchanting book that will appeal to anyone with an interest in Irish mythology and folklore. It is a timeless classic that deserves to be read and enjoyed by generations to come.There they were until the morrow’s morning came, when Patrick robed himself and emerged upon the green; together with his three score priests, three score psalmodists, and holy bishops three score as well, that with him disseminated faith and piety throughout Ireland. Patrick’s two guardian angels came to him now: Aibellan and Solusbrethach, of whom he enquired whether in God’s sight it were convenient for him to be listening to stories of the Fianna.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
