Amadan Mor.
The boyhood of the Amadan Mor has some resemblance to that of the Russian hero, Ilyá Múromets, who sat so many years in the ashes without power to rise.
The fear of stopping in unknown places finds expression frequently in Indian tales, and arises from the fact that the visitor does not know what spirits inhabit them, and therefore does not know how to avoid offending those spirits. Eilin Og seems to have a similar idea in the dark glen.
Cud, Cad, and Micad.
Urhu is called Nurhu sometimes, and appears to be the same as the old English Norroway, Norway. Hadone is said to be Sicily.
Cahal, Son of King Conor.
In this tale we have a number of elemental heroes, such as Striker and Wet Mantle. Against Striker, the great blower, no one can do anything at sea. This is the kind of hero who can walk on the water, or at least who never sinks in it much beyond his ankles. This Striker appears in another story as a giant out in the ocean, which he is beating with a club.
In Wet Mantle, whose virtue is in his cloak, which is rain itself, we have an excellent friend for a rain-maker.
