#Celtic#MythologyMonday: Both the warrior-queen #Aoife and #Scathach had raised an army & were about to fight each other. Scathach didn't mention this to #CúChulainn, for the handsome youth had become dear to her, so she gave him a sleeping draught to make him slumber through the battle, as she believed Aoife too much for any man to defeat. Although the potion would have conquered the senses of anyone else, CúChulainn lay asleep for but an hour before stirring.
