Ossian is based on Oisín, son of Finn or Fionn mac Cumhaill, anglicised to Finn McCool, a character from Irish mythology.

In 1761 he claimed to have found an epic on the subject of the hero Fingal, written by Ossian.

He published translations of it during the next few years, culminating in a collected edition ; The Works of Ossian, in 1765.

Goethe's associate Johann Gottfried Herder wrote an essay titled Extract from a correspondence about Ossian and the Songs of Ancient Peoples ( 1773 ) in the early days of the Sturm und Drang movement.

In Italy the translation of Ossian by Melchiore Cesarotti made that work highly popular, and among others it influenced Ugo Foscolo who was Cesarotti's pupil in the University of Padua.

The first partial Polish translation of Ossian was made by Ignacy Krasicki in 1793.
