- Shame there isn't more artwork of this guy and other Celtic myths. Hopefully artists start looking into it some more.

• 2 Hours of Celtic Musi...
The standing stone he tied himself to his actually a real stone called the Clochflamore, and the surrounding area actually has several bronze weapon fragments near it. The stone itself is near the Irish/Ulster Border itself, in case your curious
No love for Scathach!? You could have at least said her name! Or the fact that while he was over there he defeated Aife, got her Aife pregnant, and later kills his own son only to discover this fact as his son dies in his arms. I always saw that particular part similar to Arthur and Mordred.
Yup, wondered at that omission too and no mention of Morrigan.
it is weird that this guy would omit the names of feminine figures, mythological and historical.
@@corvoriever539he omitted literally every name ever so thats not saying much
For how scattered Irish mythology is, it's amazing we have enough fragments to tell these stories. Celtic mythology is quickly dying, unless we find a hidden library of lore it's up to us to preserve & educate people and their history
The man. The myth. The legend. The Dog.
*WOOF WOOF WOOF WOOF WOOF*
Isn’t the Irish term Geas, not Taboo? Geas being a magical oath and binding, rather than a mere cultural affect?
geas/geis is often translated as "taboo"
@@billnicks2362 this is old but... A Geas does have a taboo component, Typically when under a Geas you are bound by a rule. It may be a social or financial rule. Say you can not ever deny a fellow mans plea for help, no matter the cost to yourself. If you break a Geas (and not all of them can be broken since their is a "magical" component as well) then you enter a state of "Taboo" where you are shunned by all. (the punishment part has a physical part in that it causes say boils all over your body, or you turn red, or your hair becomes white. What ever it is it marks your breaking of the Geas and fall into a taboo state)
The Hound of Ulster. Oddly is used as a symbol by both sets of traditions in modern-day northern Ireland. Enjoying this series a lot. Keep'er lit
Mere feeble attempts by planters at culture theft.
@Michael Halligan I am an Irishman born and raised in the colony as you call it. If you find it offensive you need to go and have a look at yourself.
@Michael Halligan maybe look up Dál Riata before coming out with that.
Wish you had went more into detail about his time at Dun Scaith with Scáthach and his brotherhood with Ferdiad and his son Concla.
The Cattle Raid of Cooley and the novel Red Branch by Morgan Llwelyn. That's how I first encountered the mighty Cu Chulainn of Ulster.
Smite anyone?The op warrior of doom and my personal favorite.
My main is Chernobog but my others are Fenrir,Sobek,Thanatos,Hades,Ares And Jörmungandr
smite is the only reason I've heard his story. otherwise I'd have been oblivious
Wow! I knew nothing about Celtic lore. What a complex and distinctive character; I'm surprised I've never heard of him. Great video! Loving the new series so far.
How to spell names:
Cú Chulainn - "Koo Kohlen" (Ú is pronounced like "oo" from the word "Toon")
Sétanta - "Shaydanda" ("Se" consonant with or without accent in letter "e" is pronounced as "sh" and the letter "t" mostly as "d")
Táin Bó Cuailnge - "Tawn Bow Coolingi"
Gae Bolg - "Gay Bolg" (literally)
I was extremely pleased that American Gods included the Tuatha de Danann. That's a pretty popular show and just having the Irish pantheon make their appearance and be a part of it, though not a HUGE part, is just the sort of exposure this mythology needs to start gaining popularity. I swear if someone would just make a full-on, big-budget, FX-laden, balls-to-the-walls Cú Chulainn and/or Fionn Mac Cumhaill movie, filled with magic and monsters and all of that good shit, Thor would have some reason competition in the game of being a popular mythological deity.
I’ve been dabbling in a bunch of different religions/cultures myth and legends. A lot of similar names. Kukulkan of Maya comes to mind
His name is actually pronounced "Koo - Hoolan" :) great video btw, its nice to see someone talking about Celtic myth
^ Yep
The original Hulk,the baddest motherfucker in Ireland, Cu Chulain! a song inspired by him exist,performed by Ireland's very own Thin Lizzy.
Can't wait for the one eyed Balor and Finn McCool to get done. Also hope King Arthur's myth gets done too.
Player Juan Wasn’t King Arthur from 6th century England tho ?
There one more song, named "The blood of Cú chulain" by Jeff and Michael Danna. I hardly recommend it.
I grew up with my father pointing toward the Slieve Bloom mountains telling me about his(Cu Chulainn) early life there.
Heads up, there were no knights, or capitals in ancient Ireland. But for those not in the know, its an OK comparison.
I revisit your channel after a couple of months and you've uploaded about my favorite legend in existance
It is said the story of the Tain Bo Cualinge and the deeds of Cu Chulainn happened around the 1st century AD.
Cu Chulainn actually lashed himself to the stone with his own intestines. Savage.
Fionn mac Cumhaill next, please? I'd like you to cover him and the Fianna in some light; their story goes untold just as much as Cu Chulainn.
Best Doggo of the Fate Series, and a BAMF through and through
Obligatory: RANSA GA SHINDA!!!
OBLIGATORY: Kono shito de nashi!
Celtic and Irish mythology are separate things they're somewhat intertwined but they are separate
Evan O'Keeffe not always it would seem.
All Gaelic tales are Celtic, but not all Celtic tales are Gaelic
I heard of Cú Chulainn from Fate/Stay Night. He was one of the Heroic Spirits summoned in the Holy Grail wars. 7 Heroic Spirits in total. Thus, there is 7 classes. Saber, Lancer, Archer, Assassin, Rider, Berserker, and Caster. Cú Chulainn was summoned as Lancer class.
Why the hell is he not a berserker class?
@@mr.tiddles556 Because the identity of a servant can be called in multiple variations if they fit more than one role. He was also a highly skilled spearman, so he was summoned as a Lancer for that particular Grail War iteration, probably by using the Gae Bolg as the catalyst for calling him. In the phone game Fate/Grand Order, he's summonable in three variants that I'm aware of: Lancer, Caster (presumably under the assumption that he learned magic from Scathach), and Berserker. Of those, I'm pretty sure only the Berserker variant is 5* rank, with Lancer being 4* and Caster being 3*.
Also, for that particular grail war, the Berserker slot was filled by Heracles who doesn't really have another good class to slot him into.
@@pyrosianheir gotcha, that makes sense. Thanks for the explanation
@@pyrosianheir I actually played fgo. It still has my balls and wallet clutch in its hands. Only berserker cu is 5*, the rest are 3 *. And in the manga series which will be getting animated fate/strange fake. Heracles gets summoned as Alcides the archer servant.
@@mikederdrache3305 Isn't Strange Fake the one where Baeber is actually a guy for once? Or was that Fate/Prototype?
I also played Fate/GO, but I escaped without spending anything, by means of just... leaving the game when it got to the point of too much feeling like I'd have to pay to really progress. I just could've sworn I remembered having Lancer Cu and him being a 4*.
Well done, a good telling of a great story. Very enjoyable with a nice soundtrack.
So he's Grendel-Hulk- Conan?
I'm super into this series
"Shame there isn't more artwork of this guy", hilariously, the Fate series exists
No, that Cú Chulainn looks like some drag queen
The Stutterer ironic coming from a guy with a Marth profile pic.
Also what part of Proto Cu, Caster Cu, Cu Alter or any other versions of him look even remotely close to "drag queen"?
@@elgranlugus7267 Sounds like you have some personal issues with your sexuality you need to work out.
@@Prnnce Nah you just got triggered by my comment and i lovre that.
@@aceh5867
There is only one Cú Chulainn and he was a true man not the one with the blue spandex. Oh yes and i love my profile picture, it's cool right?
*He's pretty much Irish Hercules!*
- Actually Satan
I first read about this in the novel, A Druid's Tune.
Fun fact: translating to Portuguese his name would become "Asshole Chulainn"
Cú :^)
He was kinda an asshole
did you know cheesecake has many more calories than a side salad?
@@kyleturner9617 lmao what knowledge
@@kyleturner9617yes I did know this.
The Sentantii were the Celtic tribe of the Lancashire plains on the opposite side of the Irish Sea (long a busy highway) in NW England. So it's not impossible that he came from there.
Lancer just died! You aren’t human!
You notice that the number 3 is quite common through out Irish mythology. Thought to be quite sacred, dunno exactly why...
signifies the three-layered nature of a human soul, and is in itself a central figure in ancient Celtic symbolism. The earth, sea, and sky share a three-fold marriage in oaths and as witness to deeds, and represent sacred elements.. also closely related to how the holy trinity is 3 as well, this is a common theme in most cultures that came from indo European people.
Great work
The only time I heard of this guy was from Gargoyles. Along with his companion, the Hound of Ulster
This should be a Hollywood feature
ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?!
Kratos vs. Cú Chulainn
Spartan Rage vs. Irish Rage
Who would win
Would be an epic battle though.
The only thing that makes CuChulain a bitch is averting his eyes at the sight of Irish boobage. We all know that Kratos would have fucked the shit out of those Irish girls flashing their tits.
Azraelseraphim Samson
well not anymore if you saw god of war 2018 since hes now married
Asura: God Level Rage
I can't stop laughing, because i'm brazilian and in portuguese "cú" means "asshole"
This should really be Irish mythology and not Celtic eventhough the Irish retain the last remnants of Celtic history and culture when they refer to themselves as Celtic they would be considered modern Celtic. Celtic mythology would be that of the actual Celtic tribes who were a very widespread poeples who were around from about 800bc to 1ad or so.
David Burns thanks for sharing. Good points. celtic tribes were all over the northwestern Europe area but we always tends to refer them as Irish.
Reason being the Irish Celts were the longest surviving, with their Celtic mythologies being the most intact of the many many tribes.
I was just wanting to point out that there should be a seperation of Celtic and Irish Celtic because they are 2 entirely seperate peoples.
David Burns celtic includes many tribes all over northwestern Europe. their is no difference really. Irish just were more isolated and didn't intermingle with other people groups until much more recently in history than the other celtics across great Britain and France and Germany and those areas. they were conquered by many empires and changes unlike few in great Britain areas.
+David Burns This series of Celtic mythology is the sum of many peoples. Which was mentioned in the first video in this series
Incoming fate fanbois
DatGuy funnily enough I actually knew of cu chulainn before fates
Aznpride nice
Fate the anime or a game? I wanna see this lol
untitled2012 the anime
What do you mean?
so cu culainn was calmed down after some girls showed him their you-know-whatsits
god I love Ireland
Interesting idea the Irish Hulk St Patrick's Day and need some big muscle green guy help Celtic mythology really fast
I'm just here for the smite thumbnail
Your videos are really amazing. I always enjoy watching them so I was wondering if you can do something about Warhammmer lore?
The epic nature of these tales and the beautiful, psychedelic quality of the art that surrounds these myths lends itself fully to the sorts of storytelling we have come to expect from Thor and Norse myths, both in sequential art form and on the big screen. I wholeheartedly agree that the legends of the Tuatha dé Danann are ripe for adaptation/incorporation into the myths of the modern age, so to speak. Long overdue for a film series, I say.
a warp spasm sounds like some fuckin badass anime shit
5:45 A true Gigachad.
make a video for minas morgul and the witch king of angmar
Yeah I kicked his ass yesterday as Guan Yu in the solo lane yesterday.
A Orange Cat yea but your broken
Look at my horse my horse is amazing
How about 1.5 healing instead of 2
Because you played against a noob.
what the best cu chulainn book to read
Thanks
The original anime.
Wow, really interesting. I can't not see his name as a variant of the Mayan Kulkukan. The mythos behind both is also intriguingly similar too. And with the original name being Satan-ta, it just gets better. Son of Lugh, that makes sense too. Lugh is kinda like Hurracan. Zeus. Jupiter. The hero of the gods during the great war with the Fomorian Titans. Kinda like Jehova defeating Leviathan in the Bible. And Kulkukan is mythologically like the son of that god. Bacchus. Osiris. Quetzacoatl. Tammuz. Baldr. Even Jesus.
It took until today for me to realize that Cu Chulainn was the same person as Setanta, haha
Edit: Also, while not necessarily mainstream, Cu has played a large role in at least one series - Fate. All three routes of Fate/Stay Night, Cu plays a role, albeit a much smaller one in Heaven's Feel than either of the other two. And HOO he's cool as hell in it, ESPECIALLY in Unlimited Blade Works.
Kid became the Hulk
Dude is frickin' badass
Cool hr has hulk powers
The Scottish warrior girl he trained with is Scathach yeh? also wouldnt it make more sense it was a Crow and not a Raven considering the Crow Goddess Morrigan is the Chooser of the Slain?
shadowboy0126 the Morrighan was a triple Goddess, with Badh and Scathach being her other aspects.
was Scathach one of her aspects? i thought she was a separate person.
@@shadowboy0126 Mythology be weird. It's highly possible that there's a version of Scathach that is, and another that isn't.
OKAY I WAS WATCHING YOU FOR SCP STUFF BUT OMG U DO OTHER STUFF TOO WOW THIS IS SO COOL UR SOO FRESKIMG COOL LETS GOOOOOOO
YOU SHOULD WATCH THE FATE SERIES ANIME LOL
do Fionn mac Cumhaill next
I thought he was the one who had a spear that was thrown by foot? strange to go into so much detail about his spear and miss out that bit. Could be wrong though.
Yes, one source does say it must be thrown using the toes, but since that wasn't a common trait of the weapon and it sounds really ridiculous, I left it out.
Fair enough. I assumed since I'd see a few people mention it it would have a stronger source.
Your videos are really good by the way, you've got the perfect voice for this sort of topic.
hes basically Hulk in Celtic Mythd XD
Hulk is basically Dr. Hyde a scientist of become monster after some chemical accident.
Anyone else see a parallel with this guy warping out and going Super Saiyan? Was their direct inspiration from Celtic myths that went into the creation of the Dragon Ball Z mythos?
wow. cu chulainn goes super saiyan
I already know everything about him, I think
Hes like Shiva
Best lancer ever
@2:52 - 3:20 Yeah, puberty's a bitch, ain't it?
4:26 "...While he was still 7 years old..." Shows a picture of a bearded, grown ass man.
yea, Cu Chullainn is that manly
Anyone remember Slaine the Berserker? I know there's supposed to be a thing over the "a" but I'm not sure how to do that, but yeah, anyone else read those?
The thing over the a is called a "Fada". In order to put one over a letter, hold down "Alt Gr" and press any letter on the key board giving it a Fada.
a-á
Irish Hulk is best boy
I heard a variation where he actually used his intestines to tie himself to the standing stone
Slane 2000AD
Technically it’s the hound of Cullen not Cullen’s hound
9:30
That's not hospitable though. Ireland has a strong taboo against refusing hospitality, but that shouldn't mean you have to eat something poisonous.
Here, you watched me poison this drink, now bottoms up!
Well, don't wanna be rude 🤦
So basically he's like a cross between Thor and Hulk?
I will gladly draw Cú Chulainn
True Epic barbarian
So all the woman of the city flashed him and he shut his eyes. Lesson learned
Irish Incredible Hulk
A flack of bird left a crop circle?
michael fassbender was supposedly making a movie shame it never happened
He is too old for a start
Oh look, Irish Heracles.
Sarim Khan i think you misspelled heracles. Here lemme help: *Greek Thor
Sounds more like the hulk then captain America lol
I wonder if Cu Chulainn played fetch with Cu
I am the Cú Chulainn. The strongest one there is...
Daimon X where???
Zach Stevens It's just a Hulk quote
Lol I thought this would be a smite video
Wonder if any drugs were used to bring this Berserker mode ?
RemusKingOfRome5 He used all of the drugs.
RemusKingOfRome5 yes a mixture of herbs and drugs triggering adrenaline among other unnaturally I'm sure. viking and the celtic alike.
My man Cu is a blue spandex wearing anime man. Whose this faker?
Good video!
Keyblademaster333 He was cool in that show but who the fuck designed the characters in that series they're all so bad looking
Who's been bastardizing our myths? JAPAN!!!
Exactly I demand my mythological accorate rainbow haired six fingered character.
The Fate series is awesome.
His Prototype armor is legit AF no idea why they picked the spandex look
My terror and fury will drive them all through the glen
I'll build a wall with the corpses of horses and men
Sucking and eye back into my skull so deep
The other eye: It dangles along my cheek
czcams.com/video/PWuvRx9uqsg/video.html
Aww... where is the classic intro of the Exploring series?
why did you reference captain America
WarDogMadness it's like a modern equivelent
teamstarpug okay
he was talking about great warriors that have been told about
Because Cap will certainly be among that tier in a century even if most don't consider him to be now.
Mythology is just crazy stories, possibly a dash of religious mumbo jumbo, and then left to grow for centuries if all those that know about it aren't destroyed.
