Irish mythology

Ezio, my friend! How may I be of service? This article has a lot of room for expansion. Please improve it with additional information in accordance with the Manual of Style

Irish mythology is the collective body of myths native to Ireland, originally passed down orally as part of Celtic mythology and later transcribed by Christian scribes in the early medieval era leading it to be the largest and best preserved of all the branches of Celtic myth. The myths are conventionally grouped into four 'cycles': The Mythological Cycle, the Ulster Cycle, the Fianna Cycle, and the Kings' Cycle. During her time in Ireland, the Viking jarlskona Eivor Varinsdottir collected pages of the Mythological and Ulster Cycles while helping her cousin Bárid mac Ímair, King of Dublin, and High King Flann Sinna secure their rules.
