After the Táin: A Tale of Cú Chulainn

by David Jordan

‘Three teats she has: one for forgetfulness, one for remembrance and one for knowledge.’

When Cú Chulainn learns the secret of the mysterious heifer’s udder, he resolves to drink the milk of forgetting, in a bid to escape his destiny.

This will set off a chain of events that will see him journey to ancient Troy and from there to the very heart of the Otherworld, before being brought back through the efforts of Cathbad the druid and his best friend, Laeg Mac Riangabra.

But is there a place for Cú Chulainn in a newly peaceful and prosperous society?
