		The Fenian cycle is made up of stories about the Fenians (or Fianna), warrior-bands of Old Ireland, centers around the famous "Finn" of Finn Mac Cumhail.
		The Fenians were so skilled in the magical arts of poetry and fighting that they seem to have been a combination of warriors and Druids, with the Druidic freedom to move from one tribal territory to another.
		Another Fenian story, late in the tradition, is called Oisín in Tir na nÓg, and is about Finn Mac Cumhail’s son Oisín (Usheen) ("little deer"), who was invited and brought to the Otherworld.

		It has been suggested that the threat of the Fenians was a major cause for the union of provinces into the confederation that became Canada.
		While the Fenian Brotherhoods did not actually achieve their goal of a Free Ireland, they did successfully pass the flame of liberty to the next generation.
