The
Táin Bó, or
cattle raid (literally "driving-off of cows"), is one of the
genres of
early Irish literature. The medieval Irish literati organised their work into genres such as the Cattle Raid (
Táin Bó), the Voyage (
Imram), the Feast (
Fled or
Feis), the Wooing (
Tochmarc), the Conception (
Compert) and the Death (
Aided), rather than the familiar but relatively modern division into cycles.
