Title
The chase of Síd na mBan Finn and the death of Finn
This is the title in Meyer’s edition of the text.(1)n. 1 Kuno Meyer, ‘The Chase of Síd na mBan Finn and the Death of Finn’ in Fianaigecht... (1910). Gerard Murphy prefers the title The slaying of the pig of Formaoíl and the death of Finn, owing to the existence of a similarly titled, but unrelated early modern poem in the Fenian tradition, known as Seilg Sléibhe na mBan (‘The chase of Slievenamon’).(2)n. 2 Gerard Murphy, Duanaire Finn: The book of the lays of Fionn: Irish text, with translation into English, vol. 2 (1933): 136.
