Cú Chulainn, Hero of the Irish - Mythillogical Podcast

Heroes arise to battle! Today, Charles the Victorious and Cassie the Nightmare Queen discover the exploits of Cú Chulainn, Ireland’s greatest warrior. Along the way, they tell of the mythical origins of the Irish people, the gods Lugh and The Morrigan, the enmity of the Ulstermen and the Connachta, and Ireland’s most famous epic, the Cattle Raid of Cooley. https://www.patreon.com/theHistocrat https://bsky.app/profile/thehistocrat.bsky.social Mythillogical logo + Other artwork by Ettore Mazza.
