Láeg

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Láeg, or Lóeg, son of Riangabar, is the charioteer and constant companion of the hero Cúchulainn in the Ulster Cycle of Irish mythology. His horses are Liath Macha and Dub Sainglend.

Cúchulainn sends him to the Otherworld with Lí Ban, sister to Fand, and he brings back bountiful descriptions of the Otherworld in the tale Serglige Con Culainn (The Sickbed of Cúchulainn). In the tale of Cúchulainn's death he is killed by Lugaid mac Con Roí with a spear intended for Cúchulainn.
