• Cúchulainn: (Cú Chulainn or in English Cuhullin) An Irish mythological hero, with the epithet "The hound of Ulster", and principal character of mediaeval Irish stories. Among other deeds, he kills his own son by mistake, defeats Ulster against the armies of Connacht, and was famous for his berserk battle-fury. He is a key figure in the Irish Revival at the turn of the twentieth century. His adventures were collected and translated in 1903 by Lady Augusta Gregory in her book Cuchulain of Muirthemne (1902). He is the hero of several William butler Yeats plays as well, including On Baile's Strand (1904).
  • The guests at Culann's lonely mansion are making merry, knowing they are protected from intruders by a huge, ferocious dog. But in the midst of the laughter they hear a terrible sound. A late-arriving Sétanta, aged only 7, has killed the dog by smashing it against a doorpost. The guests cheer, but Culann is dismayed at the loss of his prized hound. Sétanta responds that he will raise another whelp to replace the guard dog, and will serve as the hound in the interim. The crowd applaud his generosity and call him the Hound: Cú, of Culann: Chulainn, the name he retained thenceforward.)
