Irish mythology & legend

Every story finds its way back to another.

The gods, heroes, sacred places and festivals of the Four Cycles, drawn from primary manuscripts like the Lebor Gabála Érenn and the Táin Bó Cúailnge — and linked to each other so you can follow the thread.

Frequently asked questions

Why are there two ways to find things — search and browse?

Search gives you a quick, conversational answer to any question, even about myths not yet built out as a full entry. Browse links only to fully sourced, citable entries. Use search to explore freely; use browse when you want the citation.

Is this historically accurate?

Every entry is drawn from primary manuscript sources — the Lebor Gabála Érenn, the Táin Bó Cúailnge, and others — not secondhand retellings. Where traditions disagree, we try to reflect that rather than picking one version as definitively correct.

How is this different from Wikipedia?

Wikipedia treats each god, hero, and place as a separate article. Here, every entry is linked to the ones it actually connects to, so you can follow a real thread — say, from Lugh to his son Cú Chulainn to the fort he defended — instead of reading six disconnected pages.

Is it free?

Yes — no account, no sign-up, no paywall, now or planned.
