EDIT2: I just wiki'd Cuchulainn. I'm almost shocked he isn't Sigurd's namesake.
Comparing Sigurd to that mythical nitwit is actually unfair to Sigurd. I think Cuchulainn is the source of much of my distaste for Celtic myth. THIS is the best-looking and most heroic thing they can come up with? A brute whose physical description sounds like a monster out of the book of Ezekiel? WTFF.
