#LegendaryWednesday: After the wedding of #Cuchulainn and #Emer, the king of #Ulster had to exercise his "right of the first night". While #Conchobar mac Nessa feared #CúChulain`s reaction, he would have lost his authority if he had renounced his privilege. To preserve #Emer's virginity, #Conchobar shared the bed with #Cuchulainn's wife on her wedding night, but the #druid #Cathbad slept between them. #Celtic

#Celtic #BookologyThursday: After the death of his son, #CúChulainn was in such a fury that #Cathbad the #druid „cast a spell on him to make him think the waves of the ocean were attacking warriors, and he strove with them from the waxing of the moon to the waxing of the moon until he collapsed from exhaustion.“
