504 Includes bibliographical references and index.
505 0 "Ah indeed! That is Medb of Cruachan": critical and
literary tradition -- "We need not doubt that there were
many like her in real life": Medb as realistic reflection
of her culture -- "I was noblest and worthiest": Medb as
political ruler -- "Mighty are the deeds of Medb": Medb as
military commander -- "It is she who lives on in legend":
implications and further research.
520 Medb of Connacht, a central female character of medieval
Ireland's Ulster Cycle is read traditionally as an example
of a misogynistic, patriarchal Christian campaign to
suppress and silence women in early Ireland, or as
symbolic of a primordial, mythic pre-Christian goddess,
exempt from patriarchal censure because her behavior is
ascribed to her duties as a divine sovereignty figure. In
addition, this work provides the first comparative and
comprehensive character analysis of the Connacht warrior
queen across numerous tales in which she appears as a
major player, presenting a more complete pic.
