There are many famous stories about the Fianna, Diarmad agus Gràinne, Oisean after the Fianna, the heroism/bravery of Cù Chulainn and others.
The story of Diarmaid and Gràinne is very like the other stories in European literature about triantain ghaoil (love triangles): Tristan and Isolde, for example.
There is a website edited by Ruairidh MacIlleathain called gaisgeach.com where we can find some of the Sgeulachdan na Fèinne, stories of the Fianna.
