Ossian is the son of Irish hero Finn. His mother Sadb was Druids The believer turned into a deer, and was taken to the overseas youth fairy island by Manannan, the sea god, and married the daughter of the sea god, spending 300 years of happy time [1]
Before returning to Ireland, his fairy wife warned him not to dismount, or he would never return to the fairyland again. When I came home, I found that people were smaller than before, just like dwarfs. His tribe had already become a shadow in the myth. At that time, he saw three people moving a stone tablet. The group of small people could not move the stone with all their strength. I looked down on them and went forward to show my strength saddle He slipped up and fell down on the earthly land, instantly turning from a handsome young man into a withered old man with blind eyes and gray hair. Later, he met Saint Patrick, who was preaching in Ireland. The saints took pains to listen to his beautiful stories and record them. Before he died, Saint Patrick advised him to return to Christianity and said that his non religious people and father suffered in hell, but I refused. He said that where could there be a place comparable to the fairy island he had seen? What fun would it be to not enjoy the paradise of chasing happiness and courtship [2]
The emergence of Saint Patrick makes the adventure of Ezekien different from that of many ancient heroes. Although Saint Patrick was obviously added by the descendants, and although saints can curse the anti religious behavior when necessary, this legend has a tolerance that cannot be found in other European Christian regions. In other Celtic stories, we can see that Saint Laurent mercilessly cursed a king as a bird jumping among trees, and could only live on watercress all his life.

In 1762, James Macpherson (1736-1796), a Scottish poet, claimed to have "discovered" the poetry of Zedoary, and he translated two epic poems, "Fingal" and "Timura", from the original Celtic language of the third century, and published them successively, so these so-called "Zedoary" poems spread throughout Europe , for early Romantic Movement Have an important impact. In fact, although some of these works are based on Celtic ballads, most of them are created by McPherson himself [2]
The authenticity of Exiang's poems has always been a subject for critics to study. Until the end of the 19th century, research proved that the irregular Celtic original text produced by McPherson was just the irregular Celtic translation of his English works. So far, the dispute about Zedoary was resolved. Academics agree that the romanticized epic "Zexiang Collection" is not really a work of Zexiang, but the "Zexiang Collection of Folk Songs" collated and published in the early 16th century is the real one Irish Gaelic Lyric poetry and narrative poetry. The poetry of Ezedoary that Goethe read at that time is the creation of McPherson, which cannot be confused with the real Ezedoary poem "Ezedoary Ballads Collection" [2]
