Abstract
I have three main aims in this article. The first is to offer a normalised text accompanied by an English translation of Deacair innreamh na hóige , a poem of moral and political advice by Eochaidh Ó hEódhasa which has not previously been translated nor been the subject of critical appraisal. My second aim is to offer a close reading of the poem in order to illuminate the main ideas, arguments and attitudes that it embodies. My third concern, and that which informs the title of the article, is to argue that the values and preoccupations of the poem are characteristic of European mirrors-for-princes as a whole and reveal the extent to which this bardic poet was influenced by European moral and political thinking in general.
