The Cattle-Raid of Cualnge — Chronicle

Ordered by chapter. The epic keeps time only by the feasts of the year — “The Monday after Samain they set forth”, “From the Monday after the end of summer exactly to the Wednesday after Candlemas” — and the text has no calendar year at all, so no event is dated: no anchor, no chronology; a date is never inferred. Every event links back to one sentence of the original.
