Ancient Irish Warrior Queen To Be Celebrated this Spring

She roamed Ireland over 2000 years ago and has various locations in Ireland’s western province named after her, but this year a Dublin company is set to re-imagine the story of Maeve of Connacht.

Dating from Ireland’s bronze age, Maeve is at the centre of one of Ireland’s great myths, the Cattle Raid of Cooley, regarded as ‘The Irish Iliad’.

The company behind the re-imagining of Maeve, Dublin headquartered Ballywire Media, takes up her story when she turns 18.

A 60 page graphic novella, original poetry and music, an art exhibition and a VR app showing us her living quarters are amongst the features being teased by the company.

More information due over the next few weeks. In the meantime be sure to follow @legendsofaeroo on instagram and @maeveofconnacht on x. You can also keep up to date with Maeve’s exploits on www.maeveofconnacht.com.
