Medieval and modern myths accrued to Irelands Iron Age Queen Maeve (Medb), notably in Rosalind Clarks The Great Queens, led to this redemption of Medbs true identity. Clark alone showcased the divine elements and tragic qualities on which the greatness of the medieval Tain Bo Cuailnge rested, enabling us to fully appreciate Irelands greatest national epic. Nevertheless, a seismic shift had taken place in the retelling of Medbs story which elevated the Tain Bo Cuailnge to the level of a Greek-style Odyssey. Medbs archaic history was deliberately suppressed as she underwent gross character assassination. Her true pristine identity is finally recovered here. O Connors research and photographs are unprecedented in any account of Irish history. This scholarly work is real Irish History - not the romantic myth of Gaelic High Kings of Ireland based at Tara. It should be compulsory reading for any student of Irish history (Amazon.com Kindle book review). This book is not only of Irish significance, for its revelations should result in a reinterpretation of prehistoric and early historic Europe. Academics and experts in archaeological, nomenclature and allied fields must study what can only be a very important discovery. I await their interpretations of its findings with excited anticipation (Hugh W.L. Weir, historian and publisher, Ballinakella Press, Whitegate, Co. Clare, Ireland). What can I say This has to be the most informative work on early Ireland. I have a burning desire to learn about the people I descend from. All has been explained and expanded on to such a degree with accuracy that many other history books seem to be guesswork and fairy tales. What a great book (Michael Geraghty, Victoria, Australia). Extremely interesting This books Flickr and Web sites (www.handofhistory.com ) are awesome and explain a lot (Steve Cavanagh, Death Valley, California, USA).About the AuthorIrish author, Tom O Connor, spent over 40 years researching the suppressed and stunning history and geopolitics of Western Europe and Western Ireland before authoring Hand of History, Burden of Pseudo History (www.handofhistory.com ) and Irelands Queen Maeve.
