Early Bardic Literature, Ireland., Firbolgs and Third Cycle of the Fomoroh., sentence 41

These pedigrees, as I said before, have no historical meaning, being pre-Milesian, and therefore absolutely prehistoric; but as the genealogy of the gods, and as representing the successive generations of that invisible family, whose history not one or ten bards, but the whole bardic and druidic organisation of the island, delighted to record, collate, and verify--those pedigrees are as reliable as that of any of the regal clans.

Who acts: I, pedigrees, genealogy · What happens: say, have, be, represent, record, collate · To what, where: pedigrees, historical meaning, successive generations · Speech: someone speaks here
