Ossian
Ossian, alternatively spelled Oisín, son of Fingal (Fionn mac Cumhail), is a poet and warrior of the fianna in the Fenian Cycle of Irish mythology. He is the narrator of much of the cycle. The spelling Ossian is particularly associated with a cycle of poems by James Macpherson which he claimed to have translated from ancient sources in the Scots Gaelic.
