Britannica Micro. ("Deirdre, Old Irish Deirdriu, in early Irish literature, the gentle and fair heroine of The Fate of the Sons of Usnech (Oidheadh Chloinne Uisneach), the great love story of the Ulster cycle ... The story was immensely popular in Ireland and Scotland and survived to the 20th century in Scottish oral tradition; its literary influence continued into modern times, when the Anglo-Irish writers, notabley William Butler Yeats and John Millington Synge, dramatized the theme")
