Abstract
The figure of Cú Chulainn is used to define and examine the foster sibling relationship. The first relationship is created at a very early stage when Cú Chulainn is nursed by Finnchóem and starts his relationship with her son Conall Cernach. The two warriors express their loyalty to one another, which is demonstrated through Conall’s actions at the death of Cú Chulainn. Conall does not appear as a foster brother in Táin Bó Cúailnge, where Cú Chulainn’s foster brothers fight against him. These foster brothers are created later in life through the shared education they all had with Scáthach in Alba. Both early association and shared education can create foster bonds.
