Summary "Deirdre" by James Stephens is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story draws from ancient Irish mythology, focusing on the legendary figure of Deirdre of the Sorrows, and begins with themes of fate, love, and conflict through the lens of her relationships with powerful men, including King Conachúr mac Nessa and the warrior Naoise. At the start of the narrative, we are introduced to Conachúr, who, while staying at the home of a storyteller, becomes preoccupied with thoughts of his wife, Maeve, and his brewing jealousy towards Fergus mac Roy. The plot unfolds with a prophecy about a child born during this night, destined to bring ruin and sorrow, leading the king to name the child Deirdre. The opening chapters provide a rich tapestry of character interactions, highlighting the tensions between Conachúr, Maeve, and the impending weight of Deirdre's story—setting the stage for the tragic fates that await the characters ensnared by love, power, and prophecies.
