I just know the Book of Leinster/Recension II scribe was the Jenny Joyce of the twelfth century

The average ulster cycle war: Medb wants a cow. Stop her getting a cow.

Compared to

The average fenian cycle war: A descendant of Balor from Scandinavia has invaded Ireland and placed a Gaes on Fionn to sleep with his wife. Meanwhile, Clan morna is mad at Clan Bascne over some meat, and the high king hates the power the fianna holds but also needs them to shoo off the foreign invaders. The only solution for all of these problems is to go on an island hopping adventure where various Tuatha de will join the fianna, and Mananaan will go on a boat. The Battle of Magh Tuireadh will, for some reason, be recounted, and the fianna will have to stay in a hostel where they will be ambushed. Several magical monsters. To kill the random Scandinavian king, fionn will have to get a sword forged by the classical god vulcan and / or the King of Alba and / or on the day of the birth of the guy they are going to kill this will require about 20 more adventures. However, this won't matter anyway because Diarmuid, Goll, or Osgar will kill the guy in single combat without these weapons anyway. Fionn will never actually sleep with the king's wife, but they will marry.

Going to my eras tour Hozier tomorrow.
