    `The beautiful maiden #Sadb, daughter of the great magician Bobd Derg, was turned into a deer by one of his magical enemies, Fear Doirche. #Fionn Mac Cumhaill fell in love with a mysterious woman who visited him at night after he had saved a fawn from being killed by his hunting dogs. After many nights of pleasure, the dark sorcerer—her father’s enemy— found that Sadb had managed to slip out of her deer form and enjoy the hero’s affections. He cast a darker spell upon her so that she could never regain her womanly form.
    Heartbroken, Sadb fled from her lover, who searched #Ireland for nearly a year. Then, near the great flat peak of Ben Bulben, he found a deer nursing a human infant. Recognizing his lover and their son, Fionn took the boy from her tenderly, naming him Oisín (“little fawn”).`
