	Rebirth and Transmigration
		The incident closes with the words, “It was from these worms that she became pregnant, say some.”[1196] Possibly the divinity of the river had taken the form of the worms and was reborn as Conchobar.
		In many tales the swallowing of a seed, fruit, insect, etc., results in the birth of a hero or heroine, and it is probable that these stories embody actual belief in such a possibility.
		If the stories of Conall Cernach and Aed Slane are not attenuated instances of rebirth, say, of the divinity of a well, they are examples of this belief.

	The Cuchulainn Cycle
		At an early time the saga may have had a more or less definite form, but new tales were being constantly added to it, and some of the longer tales are composed of incidents which once had no connection with each other.
		Cuchulainn is the central figure of the cycle, and its central episode is that of the Tain bo Cuailgne, or “Cattle Spoil of Cooley.” Other personages are Conchobar and Dechtire, Ailill and Medb, Fergus, Conall Cernach, Curoi, Deirdre, and the sons of Usnach.
		The blindness was a compliment paid to Cuchulainn the blind, by women who made themselves blind while talking to him, just as Conall Cernach’s mistresses squinted as he did.[472] Cuchulainn’s blindness arose from his habit of sinking one eye into his head and protruding the other—a well-known solar trait!
