Also, this is the first I have heard of Cuchullain being considered a "god". He was mortal, and remained so, by spurning the Morrigan. Legendary, yes, but not a god.

I am surprised no mention was made of the Trinity of the Morrigan, with Badbh and Macha.

God this brings back memories, when I was about 9 or 10 our class did a project on Cuculainn, God help me I got such a crush on him I spent days going to the gpo in dublin to look at his statue, Childhood it was so simple.
