Serglige Con Chulainn and Óenét Emire

Serglige Con Chulainn and Óenét Emire (Wasting Sickness of Cú Chulainn and The Only Jealousy of Emer), a linked pair of stories of the Ulster cycle with elements of the echtra tale-type, preserved in the Book of the Dun Cow. When Cú Chulainn tries to kill two magical birds, he is horsewhipped in a dream by two women of the sídh. In a further vision, he is told that if he fights Labraid's enemies in the otherworld he will win the love of Fand, and he accepts the challenge. He sleeps with Fand but after a month he leaves, making a tryst with her at Newry. Emer plans to kill Fand at the meeting-place, but instead each woman offers to surrender her love.
