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