In Irish legend, Setanta was the birth name of the hero Cu Chulainn. When Setanta was attacked by the vicious guard dog of the smith Culann, he killed it in self-defense. He then volunteered to serve as Culann's guard until a new dog could be found, thus gaining the epithet Cu Chulainn, meaning "the hound of Culann." | In Irish legend, Setanta was the birth name of the hero [[Cu Chulainn]].
