Il '''Ciclo dei Fianna''', conosciuto anche come '''Ciclo ossianico''' e '''Ciclo di Fenian''', è un corpus di prosa e versi riguardanti le imprese del mitico eroe [[Fionn mac Cumhaill]] e dei suoi guerrieri i [[Fianna|Fianna Éireann]]. E' uno dei quattro cicli principali della [[mitologia irlandese]] con il [[Ciclo mitologico]], il [[Ciclo dell’Ulster]], e il [[Ciclo storico]]. Messi in ordine cronologico , il ciclo di Fenian è il terzo, tra il ciclo dell'Ulster e quello storico. Il ciclo di Fenian spesso è chiamato "ciclo ossianico" perchè si supponeva che il figlio di Fionn, [[Oisín]], avesse scritto molti dei componimenti del ciclo. Esso contiene anche storie su altri membri Fianna, tra cui [[Caílte mac Rónáin|Caílte]], [[Diarmuid Ua Duibhne|Diarmuid]], il figlio di Oisín[[Oscar (mitologia irlandese)|Oscar]], e il nemico di Fionn, [[Goll mac Morna]].

==Trama==

<!-- The '''Fenian Cycle''' or '''Fiannaidheacht''' (modern Irish: '''Fiannaíocht'''), also known as the '''Fionn Cycle''', '''Finn Cycle''', '''Fianna Cycle''', '''Finnian Tales''', '''Fian Tales''', '''Féinne Cycle''', '''Feinné Cycle''' and '''Ossianic Cycle''', is a body of prose and verse centering on the exploits of the mythical hero [[Fionn mac Cumhaill]] and his warriors the [[Fianna|Fianna Éireann]]. It is one of the four major cycles of [[Irish mythology]] along with the [[Mythological Cycle]], the [[Ulster Cycle]], and the [[Historical Cycle]]. Put in chronological order, the Fenian cycle is the third cycle, between the Ulster and Historical cycles. The Fenian cycle is often called the Ossianic cycle because Fionn's son, [[Oisín]], was supposed to have written most of the poems in the cycle. The cycle also contains stories about other Fianna members, including [[Caílte mac Rónáin|Caílte]], [[Diarmuid Ua Duibhne|Diarmuid]], Oisín's son [[Oscar (Irish mythology)|Oscar]], and Fionn's enemy, [[Goll mac Morna]].

==Plot Summary==

[[Cormac mac Art]], the [[High King of Ireland|High King]] of [[Ireland]] formed the [[Fianna]], a coalition of clans, for the protection of the kingdom. The Fianna was dominated by Clan Bascna, led by [[Cumhal]], and Clan Morna, led by [[Goll mac Morna|Goll]], with [[Liath Luachra]], the [[treasurer]]. After the Battle of Knock, Cumhal is killed by the Morna, and Clan Bascna's treasure bag is stolen. Cumhal's wife, [[Muirne]], runs away and has a son, Demna, who is cared for by two warrior women, [[Liath Luachra|Liath]] and the druidess [[Bodhmall]]. Muirne marries the king of [[County Kerry|Kerry]].

<!--===Fionn's rise===

Demna got the name Fionn because of his fair hair, and as soon as he came of age he set off for revenge. He kills Liath Luachra, and retrieves the treasure bag, which he then gives to the survivors of the Battle of Knock. While studying with the poet [[Finn Eces]], Fionn accidentally eats the [[Salmon of Wisdom]], and is admitted to the court of the High King at Tara, after passing three strenuous tests. After he was admitted, Fionn became the leader of Clan Bascna.
