Later Cuchulain became one of the most important members of the "Red Branch"[11], active in the front line defending Ulster.

He is invincible on the battlefield and is also known as a lone hero.

As soon as he starts fighting, his body will become extremely deformed and monstrous, which will frighten the enemy: "One eye is sunken, the other is abnormally convex; Strangely glowing and creepy, with hair standing upright as hard as a bristle", it is said,

Many people will be frightened to death by his appearance when they see him (see Myths & Legendsofthe Celtic Raceby T.W. Rolleston, 1911).

There is also another way of saying that Cú Chulainn has 7 fingers on all four limbs and 7 pupils in each of his eyes, so that no one can control his rage (Note: This statement is included in "British Encyclopedia Concise", 2010 , edited by the British Encyclopedia Britannica, compiled by the China Encyclopedia Publishing House).

During the war between Ulster and Connaught, Cú Chulainn supported the inferior Ulster Army for seven years, valiantly against the Allied forces attacking from Connaught.

Although he failed to protect Ulster's sacred cow, he fought alone and successfully delayed the allied attack and captured Maeve, the culprit of the war, and finally released her on the condition of "no more violations of Ulster". .

However, his life was unfortunate and short-lived due to his bellicose impulses.

He killed his only son, Ken Lak (Kang Lai), because of his recklessness, and killed his former friend Ferdia as a last resort, because he despised Morrigan, the goddess of war and death. Cursed for courtship.

After the story of the cattle-taking, Ulster was defeated by the coalition forces in the second Musiini Plain Massacre, and the chaotic Cuchulainn was attacked by Karadin and Dana, the son of Culplan, and was unable to return to the sky. , Before he died, he tied himself to a stone pillar, and then his arm and head were cut off by the enemy, and Morrigan was very happy and turned into a crow and stood on his shoulders.

The story about him is mainly compiled in "TainBoCuailgne", one of the Ulster legends.

Poems and statues praising Cuchulainn are also preserved in Ireland today. Although controversial, Cuchulain is still considered one of the Celtic nation's greatest national heroes.

His repertoire is also featured in the large-scale and majestic traditional tap dance drama "Riverdance" in Ireland.

Character legend:

It all starts with the curse of the goddess Macha.

Crundchu, a rich farmer in Ulster, found a beautiful and mysterious woman in his house. He did not know her, but she did the housework for him without a word. Doing farm work and taking on the responsibilities of the hostess.

Since then, Kurand Chu has lived with this woman, and they have become husband and wife. This woman is a god, and her name is Macha. Soon after their marriage, Macha became pregnant.

One day, Kurandchu was going to attend a grand gathering held by the Ulster people, and their king, ConchorbormacNessa, would also be present.

Machala stopped her husband and begged him not to go, but Kurandchu insisted on attending. Helpless, Macha asked her husband to promise her that he would not mention himself at the meeting, otherwise they would not be able to be together, Kurand Chu agreed to her.
