theatremamadionysus:wodneswynn:Cuchulainn Rebuked by Emer, H.R. Miller, 1905just look at his facehe knows he fucked upContextually it’s pretty funny, tbh. Cú Chulainn had had many other lovers beside Emer, his main love, but in this particular case, told in The Sickbed of Cú Chulainn (The legend, not the Pogues song) and the Only Jealousy of Emer, he’s asked a fairy woman, Fand (probably that lass to the far right), to marry him. So Emer’s come to this place where Cú Chulainn and Fand agreed to meet with fifty young women, all with knives made ready to kill Fand. So Cú Chulainn’s probably sat there, thinking, “It was never a problem before, why is it different now? I was just sitting here playing chess with my buddy Laeg, man, wtf.” -- source link
