	Cú Chulainn (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		In grief, Deichtine takes a drink, and in the sip was a “certain small creature” that she swallows and from which she conceives.
		However, due to a rumor that this fatherless child of Deichtine might be Conchobor’s, the latter arranges the marriage of his sister to Sualtaim.
		Deeming it an embarrassment to go to the marriage-bed very pregnant, Deichtine retires to a corner, induces a miscarriage/aborts the pregnancy, and with “her purity restored,” sleeps with her new husband, who that night engenders the child, who is born and called Sétanta, who will become Cú Chulainn.

	Chu Chulainn and Jesus
		Deichtine [sister of Conchobor] went in to her and helped her bear a son.
		She became pregnant through swallow- ing a "little creature"--and so large with it that people were talking--then threw up the "creature" and became a virgin again, then was impregnated by her husband, then gave birth to Setanta.
		Meanwhile, from his point of view, he was born to some fantasy-woman conjured by Lug[h] and raised for at least several years by Deichtine, then died, then was a fetus in Deichtine's womb but was 'aborted' when she got sick, then was conceived again and was born to Deichtine and Suldam.
