Tuatha De Danann Mythology
« on: May 02, 2014, 09:21:00 pm »
This is probably a stupid question, but I was wondering is there a book/document available detailing the mythology of the Tuatha De Danann?

Both of these.
Other than that, perhaps try and find books dealing with the cycles- especially the Mythological Cycle. Maybe have a look at Proinseas Mac Cana's book 'Celtic Mythology'.
I'd also check out the Táin translation by Thomas Kinsella and books to do with the Finn Cycle because there's a fair bit in the other cycles (especially Finn and Ulster Cycle) regarding the Tuatha Dé Danann :)
Muireann Ní Bhrolcháin's 'An Introduction to Early Irish Literature' is an excellent book that I'd highly recommend to anyone interested in early Irish literature in general- it deals with each cycle and everything else :)
