This figure has either a champion’s light or a bird of valor that shines from his forehead. This beardless figure has seven pupils in each eye and seven fingers and toes (15[1])on (15[1])each hand and foot, (15[1]-5[1])according to a text that describes his wooing of Emer. (15[1])One of this figure’s eyes draws (-5[1])deep into his head while the other pops out (15[1])to his (15[1])cheek amidst (15[1])a series of contortions performed (15[1])after a (15[1]-5[1])troop of youths (10[1])are (-5[1])slaughtered (15[1])while this (-5[1])figure slumbers. That (15[1])monstrous spasm is this (10[2])figure’s (*) riastrad. (10[1])This hero ties himself to a boulder (10[1])to (10[1])remain (-5[1])standing, (10[1])so that (10[1])his (-5[1])enemies (10[2])are unaware he (10[1])has (10[1])died (-5[1])until a crow lands (-5[1])on his (-5[1])shoulder. That (10[1])death becomes possible after this (10[1])hero violates (10[1])his geis by consuming dog meat. For 10 points, (-5[1])what (10[1])beautiful Hound of Ulster defended (10[2]0[5])his homeland (10[1])in the (10[1])Cattle Raid of Cooley? (10[3])■END■
