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 (15[1])deep into his head while the other pops out to his cheek amidst a series of contortions performed after a troop of youths are slaughtered while this figure slumbers. (15[1])That monstrous spasm is this figure’s (*) riastrad. This hero ties (10[1])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[1])10 points, what beautiful Hound of Ulster defended his homeland in the Cattle Raid of Cooley? ■END■
