	Celtic & Vedic Culture
		This Celtic myth is about a race of Gods before the people of Danu called the Partholons, who also fought with the Fomors.
		The Partholons fought against a Fomor surnamed Cichol (or Cenchos) the Footless.
		It is with Cichol that comparisons with Vrtra have been drawn because of them both being of fantastic proportions and having a "Footless and handless" (RG 1, 32:7) serpent/dragon appearance.

		The sacrifice of a king is is thought by many to be evidenced in an obscure statement in the Leabhar Gebhala Erenn, where Partholon had gone on a hunt, during which time his wife had taken another lover.
		Hence, we see perhaps where the killing of the dog by Partholon was a fulfilling of a role by the dog, that once Partholon himself would have filled.
		What should also be apparent here, with Partholons hunt, and the dog being associated with the hunt, is that perhaps the Great Hunt was a pan-Celtic idea, having a home even here in the Goidelic worldview.
