Ossian

Ossian is the name given to a collection of ancient Scottish poems and stories that depict heroic Celtic warriors and mythical battles. Traditionally, these works are attributed to the 3rd-century bard Ossian, but most scholars believe they were composed in the 18th century by James Macpherson, who claimed they were translations of original Gaelic texts. The Ossian poems influenced European romanticism and inspired artists and writers, though their historic authenticity is debated. Overall, Ossian represents a blend of myth, literary creation, and cultural identity rooted in Scottish heritage.
