Ancient Celtic people were enclosed by natural world on all sides. Celts were aware of the presence of nature and the total dependence on the fertility and balance for their basic comfort and basic nurture. Cuchulainn, one of the ancient Gaelic heroes was endowed with superhuman qualities. The Hound of Culainn is the meaning of his name. Earlier he was known as Setanta. He was the son of Dechtire and Lugh Lamhfhada. He left his home when he was five years old to join the Red Branch Knights which is the Ulster army of the king Mac Nessa. He took his spear, his javelin and his silver ball with him when he joined the king. Upon reaching the palace at Emain Macha, with his javelin and silver ball he beat 150 boys in the games. When he was only seven years old, he killed Culainn’s watch dog at Ulster and got his name Cuchulainn. By this act, he was entrusted with the responsibility of protecting the Ulster kingdom and its people.
