Episode 79 - The Death Of CúChulainn

The penultimate story in our Death Series is the death of one of the greatest of all heroes: Cúchulainn. This story and discussion was recorded in early 2020, though we though the better of releasing tales of glorious death at the time. Cúchulainn’s death was long foretold. From the moment he took up arms as a boy, he knew that his life would be brief, and full of pain. But he knew that his story would stay on the lips of storytellers until the end of time, and that seemed a good bargain to a young boy. Here, he faces his final battle, still reaching for glory.
