Fuck Yeah Celtic Mythology

Jun 02 2012 ∞
Cu Chulainn by =Tsabo6 Cu Chulainn is an Irish mythological hero best known for his exploits in the Táin Bó Cúailnge (Cattle raid of Cooley). He gained his name when as a child he killed Culann’s guard dog in self defense, and then offered to take the dog’s place until a replacement could be found. As a young man, Cu Culainn sigle-handedly defended Ulster against the forces of Queen Medb after the other men of Ulster were struck down by a curse.  You can read the Táin Bó Cúailnge in both English and Irish here.
