Colloquy of the Ancients

A collection of Ossianic legends of ancient Ireland made into one work about the thirteenth or fourteenth century. It relates how the Fian heroes Keelta and Oisin, each with eight warriors, meet to talk over the glorious past for the last time. Then Oisin returns to the Fairy Mound of his mother, and Keelta meets with St. Patrick and his monks at Drumdreg. Keelta tells the saint many tales, interspersed with lyrics, with which he is delighted. The paint eventually baptizes Keelta and his warriors and grants them absolution.
