 Cormac mac Airt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cormac was conceived when his father, Art, slept with his mistress, Achtan, the night before he fell in the Battle of Maigh Mucruimhe.

 School of Celtic Studies - The Heroic Biography of Cormac mac Airt
For this reason, it seemed worthwhile to analyse the Birth-tale within the context of the whole cycle of tales about Cormac, and I have relegated my edition and translation of the Old Irish text to Part III: it remains, of course, an important part of the evidence on which the study is based.
The structure of Part II arises in part from that of the international biography: II.1 analyses the Birth-tale, which (it is argued) contains seven episodes of the heroic biography; II.2 deals with two independent tales, each of which contributes a further episode of the biography.
It seemed to me that Cormac's role is already well established in the Old Irish version of his Birth-tale: he is already the ideal king, already a hero, and already son of Art son of Conn and hence presitge ancestor of the Dál Cuinn.

The MacArthur is intended to be a life-changingly sizable award for otherwise obscure achievers -- biologists who have fallen off the career track, social workers, mimes, garage inventors, people who construct beautiful objects in the desert -- and I supposed that McCarthy, who lived in El Paso, Texas, was the writer-version of one of these.
