The Tuatha Dé Danann and the Fomorian giants, Lugh of the Long Arm and Cú Chulainn: the divine race of pre-Christian Ireland, lifted out of the old manuscripts and told as one continuous story.

Charles Squire wrote at the height of the Celtic revival, when the Irish and Scottish manuscript literature was being edited and translated in earnest for the first time. The Gods of the Gaels gathers the Gaelic half of his Celtic Myth and Legend, Poetry and Romance of 1905: who the gods were and where they came from, the rise of the sun god, the war with the giants at Moytura, the conquest of the gods by mortal men, and their long afterlife as fairies once the saints had arrived.
