Ossian is a collection of epic poems that bring out the figure of
the hero, Fingal, which name comes from Scots Gaelic Fionnghall,
meaning 'White Stranger'. The poems where originally written in
Gaelic and translated by James MacPherson into English, although
there is a long lasting debate about the authenticity of the poems,
since some historians believe MacPherson wrote them himself, whilst
Irish historians hold that Ossian has its roots in Irish myths, not
Scottish. Despite the debate, The Poems of Ossian achieved
international success and have been compared with Homer's Iliad,
inspiring many later writers such as Walter Scott and Goethe.
