Horslips - Concerning The Tain

Текст

Ireland's most exciting saga is, undoubtedly, Tain Bo Cuailgne ( The

Cattle Raid of Cooley ), the centrepiece of the Ulster cycle of Heroic

Tales.

Normally referred to as "The Tain", it deals with the conflict between

the forces of Connacht and Ulster for possession of a prize bull.

The events of the Tain are estimated to have taken place in Ireland

approximately 500 B.C. The earliest written version of the Tain known

to us is contained in the Book of the Dun Cow, which dates from the 12th

century. Before this the story was kept alive by storytellers.

Two other manuscript versions are also available; the 12th century Book

of Leinster and the 14th century Yellow Book of Lecan. The Tain, as

Перевод

Самой захватывающей сагой Ирландии, несомненно, является «Тайн Бо Куальгне» («Набег скота на Кули»), центральная часть ольстерского цикла героических

Сказок.

Обычно называемая «Тайн», в нем рассказывается о конфликте между

силами Коннахта и Ольстера за обладание призовым быком.

События Тэйна, по оценкам, произошли в Ирландии

приблизительно в 500 г. до н. э. Самая ранняя известная нам письменная версия Тэйна содержится в «Книге Серой Коровы», датируемой XII

веком. До этого историю поддерживали рассказчики.

Также доступны две другие рукописные версии; Книга Ленстера XII века и Желтая книга Лекана XIV века. «Тайн», как

Ирландский эквивалент «Энеиды», уже давно интригует историков, ученых

и писателей.
