The Irish hero Cuchulainn is similarly noted for being the only one of all her acolytes to whom the warrior-queen Scathach teaches the gae bolga (Tain 44), (20) and it is with this mysterious but potent weapon that Cuchulainn knowingly slays both his son and his friend and foster-bother Ferdia, the only two people, he says, who come near to matching him in battle (Tain 39-45; 196-205). To assist her in rebuilding the castle are her brother, Cuchulainn, Danann, Stonemaster and centaur, Brighid, a Huntress and centaur, Brenna, a Healer, and many others. One segment, a lamentation for the Celtic mythical hero Cuchulainn, may remind some viewers of the ``Stonehenge'' sequence from ``This Is Spinal Tap. |
