Default Celtic Mythology

Mine just fits in with my screen name.

Cuchulainn was an ancient Irish hero from Gaelic Literature. The son of the god Lugh and Deichtine, sister of the king of Ulster, he was originally named Setanta, but gained his better-known name as a child after he killed Culann's fierce guard-dog in self-defence, and offered to take its place until a replacement could be reared.

I won't bore everyone with the entire mythology but Cuchulainn translates to "hound of Culann," thus the graphic.
