In the Ulster Cycle of Irish mythology, Finnbhennach ("white-horned" sometimes rendered as "Whitehorn") was an extremely fertile stud bull owned by king Ailill of Connacht. He was originally one of Bodb Dearg's pig-keepers, who fell out with one of his colleagues. The two fought, taking a series of animal and human forms, before finally becoming two worms who were swallowed by two cows and reborn as two bulls, Finnbhennach and Donn Cuailnge. Finnbhennach was born into the herds of queen Medb, but thought belonging to a woman beneath him and joined her husband's herds instead. * v * t * e

  • In the Ulster Cycle of Irish mythology, Finnbhennach ("white-horned" sometimes rendered as "Whitehorn") was an extremely fertile stud bull owned by king Ailill of Connacht. He was originally one of Bodb Dearg's pig-keepers, who fell out with one of his colleagues. The two fought, taking a series of animal and human forms, before finally becoming two worms who were swallowed by two cows and reborn as two bulls, Finnbhennach and Donn Cuailnge. Finnbhennach was born into the herds of queen Medb, but thought belonging to a woman beneath him and joined her husband's herds instead. Donn Cuailnge was born into the herds of Dáire mac Fiachna of Cooley. He bulled a heifer belonging to the Mórrígan, and the resulting bull-calf fought Finnbhennach, and narrowly lost. After seeing that Medb was determined to see Finnbhennach fight the bull-calf's sire. When Medb discovered that owning Finnbhennach made Ailill richer than her, she resolved to even the account by possessing Donn Cuailnge. She launched the Táin Bó Cuailnge (Cattle Raid of Cooley) and eventually brought Donn back to Cruachan. The two bulls fought. Finnbhennach was killed, Donn Cuailnge mortally wounded. * v * t * e * v * t * e (en)
  • Sa Rúraíocht i Miotaseolaíocht na nGael, tarbh ghraíre olltorthúil ab ea Fionnbheannach (Sean-Ghaeilge Finnbennach) le rí Ailill na gConnacht. I ndáiríre, duine daonna darbh ainm Rucht ab ea é ar dtús, ar cheann de thréadaí muice , rí sidhe na gConnacht, a thit amach le comhghleacaí oibre leis. Chuaigh siad beirt i gcomhrac aonair, á nochtadh i sraith riochtaí ainmhithe agus daoine. I ndeireadh na dála, rinneadh dhá phéist díobh, a d'ith dhá bhó iad agus athrugadh iad mar dhá tharbh, Fionnbheannach agus Donn Cuailnge. Rugadh Fionnbheannach sna tréada Mhéabha, ach mheas sé go raibh sé os cionn a leithéide, agus chuaigh sé isteach i dteach a fear chéile ina ionad sin. Rugadh Donn Cuailnge, idir an dá linn, sna tréada Dháire Mhic Fhiachna de Chuailnge. Dhoir sé bodóg a raibh le Mór-Ríoghain, agus throid an tarbhlao a rugadh mar thoradh in éadan Fionnbheannaigh, agus chaill sé ach ar éigean. Agus é seo feicthe ag Méabh, shocraigh sí go dtroidfeadh Fionnbheannach in éadan a athar. Nuair a thuig Méabh go raibh Ailill níos saibhre ná í agus Fionnbheannach ina thréad aige, shocraigh sí Donn Cuailnge a bheith i seilbh aici chun an cuntas a chothromú. Thosaigh sí an Táin Bó Cuailnge agus faoi dheoidh thóg sí Donn ar ais go Ráth Cruachan. Throid an dá tharbh; maraíodh Fionnbheannach agus fuair Donn Cuailnge goin a bháis. (ga)
