It should be noted that Maeve's strengths were not viewed favorably by the Tain's narrator, or by the medieval Church:
"The greatest of all the epics, the Tain Bo Cuailnge, is sprinkled with misogynist comments and its most powerful female character, the magnificent Queen Medb, is not the heroine but the scheming villainess, pitted against a male hero.” (Hutton, Ronald. The Pagan Religions of the Ancient British Isles: Their Nature and Legacy. Oxford: Blackwell Publishers, Ltd. 1991.)
