Cú Chulainn: the Irish Achilles?

This week we're looking at the Irish hero Cú Chulainn. His story, his mythical spear, how his story has survived to this day, possible christianisation of such stories and his comparisons with the Ancient Greek Epic Hero Achilles.

ok but for real there’s a romance novel all about achilles and patroclus how is there not a romance novel for cu chulainn and ferdiad??????? it would be the same amount of reach as song of achilles was and tbh the cattle raid of cooley is more interesting than the trojan war. @ people who can write good,,,, hook me up

Wanna know my favourite thing about the cattle raid of Cooley? The entire war was completely pointless in the end, Cú Chulainn defended Ulster for nothing

okay but the funniest thing about the whole raid was that these two sides were literally fighting over a BULL.. i mean an actual cow.. tfw a cow is getting more attention than you are 😒
