Abstract
One who wishes to know the facts about the Etain Saga, or Tochmarc Etainé, will have to seek elsewhere for them than in The Immortal Hour now being played in London. The story is of a more than respectable antiquity. The events related are supposed to have taken place in the time of Eochaid (Yohee) Airem, who reigned at Tara about half a century before the birth of Christ. The Annals of Tigernach date his reign as contemporaneous with that of Caesar the Great, who died 44 BC.
