Note on The Conception of Cuchulain


Zeus came to Danae in a shower of gold, to Europa as a bull, to Leda as a swan. Nemglan begot Conary Mor in bird form. Lugh of the Long Hand came to Dechtira as she was driving her chariot. Men have been telling these stories of the loves of gods and mortal women for thousands of years.
