    That's been bugging me for awhile too... Cycles of Telam, Don, and what not.

    My best guess is it was a type of council between Celtic leaders.

    Actually they're dark age collections, of earlier stories. Roughly.

    Cycles are stories that are all connected, but you do not need to start with the first one chronologically when telling them. You also see them in Greek myth. The Theban cycle, for example.

    From how they sound, I'd put them somewhere in celtic Britain... but who wrote them up? That's what I would be interested in.

    I *belive* those particular cycles are Irish. More generally an Epic Cycle is a mythic narrative formed of the various quasi-historical tales.

    Beowulf is all that remains of a much larger Anglo-Norse cycle while the Iliad and Odyssey are all that remain of the Greek Epic Cycle. In the case of the latter it stretches from the Beggining to after the Trojan War but moist of it is lost to us, though we do know much of the narrative.
