About This Quote
The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall. Ortmé was an Irish warrior who fell like a hero after slaying three hundred enemy warriors. The story of his death laid the foundation for the greatest legend in Irish history. The story of Ortmé’s death began with the invasion of Ireland by the Vikings.
Many tribal leaders were killed during this time, including Cu Chulainn, one of Ireland’s greatest heroes. Cu Chulainn had vowed to return to Ireland to fight the Vikings and re-claim his home. His death inspired many people to rise up against the invaders and fight for their freedom.
