Irish Gothic: Cú Chulainn, Part One

In this episode of Irish Gothic, Spence Wright and Chris Patterson begin the story of Cú Chulainn, one of the great warrior figures of Irish mythology.

Born as Setanta, he is a child marked by strength, violence, destiny, and terrible promise. From his early life to the moment he takes on the name Cú Chulainn, Part One looks at the making of a hero whose legend is as brutal as it is enduring.

This is not a clean heroic tale. It is a story of blood, honour, prophecy, rage, and the old world of Ulster myth.

Join us as we step into a world of warriors, kings, omens, and the boy who would become the Hound of Ulster.
