Cu Chulainn Slays Culann's Watchdog
Before Cu Chulainn had earned his name, he slayed Culann's vicious watchdog in self defense. I think this story could be really entertaining to elaborate about. There seems to be quite a bit of source material for this story, and I think it really encapsulates Cu Chulainn's character.
The Relentless Rage of Cu Chulainn
With this approach I could use all of the material about Cu Chulainn. I would like to use more than just one story because each story about Cu Chulainn is pretty short. This model also emphasizes his raging form, which is particularly interesting to me. In my opinion that is what makes him special, so I would like to emphasize that aspect.
