More Info about the St. Patrick’s Event
Posted by EM Elizabella on 03/21/10
On Friday, someone requested more info on Cuchulainn:
A Yeats poem about Cuchulainn fighting the sea
There’s a lot more of course, look up the Ulster Cycle if you’re interested.
Also, I was asked if The Morrigan turned out to be good at the end of Friday’s event. No, she remains the goddess of war and battlefield death throughout. When the Royal Guard forces The Morrigan to leave Sosaria, she brings Cuchulainn’s spirit with her, to reincarnate it on the “green isle” she hopes to find. This isn’t an altruistic act. The Morrigan was very impressed that the lethally injured Cuchulainn tied himself to a wooden post so he would die standing up and could fight to the last. She assumes that when he’s not under Hercules’s influence, Cuchulainn will worship her and fight for her greater glory. As she leaves, she foretells that the next battle the Royal Guard will fight will be a bloodbath and says “I hope you all die wrapped in your own entrails.”
