The hero Fionn mac Cumhaill is said to have defended Ireland and Scotland from foreign and supernatural threat during a legendary third-century Golden Age. The stories and songs about him and his warrior band, the Fianna, form the most prolific body of narrative in the Gaelic tradition, spanning 1,400 years of continuous literary and oral transmission. The Fionn Folklore Database was created to help researchers, singers, storytellers, students, and others discover and navigate the vast corpus of orally collected folklore about these heroes.
