Special thanks to: Roinn Bhéaloideas Éireann / The National Folklore Collection, UCD. Derived from Seán Ó Suilleabháin’s English translation of an Irish language hero-tale ‘Conal Óg ó Bhinn Éadair’, collected by Seosamh Ó Dalaigh in 1946 from Muiris Shéain Connor in Baile Uí Bhoitín, Dingle Peninsula, Co. Kerry. With over 80 versions of this story in the National Folklore Collection in UCD, it was a highly popular folktale. The original story ‘Eachtra Chonaill Ghulbain’ (‘Conall Gulban’s Otherworld Adventure’) is based on the historical personage Conall Gulban, chieftain of Tír Chonaill (Donegal) and member of the 5th Century Ui Néill dynasty. Our tale is thought to have been originally composed in the 16th Century in Ulster, as Conall Gulban was considered an ancestor of numerous Donegal royal families. In the many versions collected, Conall travels to many far flung places such as Scandanavia, Greece, Spain and to Turkey to battle giants, terrible warriors, hounds and fearsome cailleacha (hags) and to rescue his bride, Eithne. En route he meets many obstacles and gains some helpers too. Our story brings Conall and Eithne to a familiar place in the imagination of the gaelic storyteller: The Eastern World – An Domhan Thoir
