Early Bardic Literature, Ireland., Firbolgs and Third Cycle of the Fomoroh., sentence 162

Again, when the mediaeval Christians ceased to regard the Tuatha De Danan as devils, and proceeded to rationalise the divine record as the ethnic bards had rationalised the history of the early gods; the Tuatha De Danan, shorn of immortality, became ancient heroes who had lived their day and died, and the greater raths, no longer the houses of the gods, figure in that literature irrationally rational, as their tombs.

Who acts: mediaeval Christians, ancient heroes · What happens: cease, regard, proceed, rationalise, rationalis, become · To what, where: Tuatha Danan, divine record, ethnic bards, ancient heroes
