In 'The Children of Lir', Erin (Ireland under its old name) is a land of harsh enchantment and tragedy - even for a sea god, whose innocent children are cursed by their foster mother. In the epic tales of Cu Chulainn, Erin is a proud realm of valiant heroes and near-impossible quests for love, and in the stories of Finn McCool Erin is a kingdom of glory where Finn leads his warriors, the Fianna, through perilous adventures in defence of its shores.
