CuChulain was the Hero of the Red Branch of the Knights of Ulster. He was the son of Dechtrie and Lugh Famous statue of him chained to a stone in General Post Office, Dublin. Never heard of him being linked to the Green Man or earth personification. CuChulain is from pre-Christian Irish myth while the Green Man, as seen in Medieval churches, is from India.

Is Cuchallin the same character as Cuchullain, son Of Lugh? In England I have seen that Cuchallin is known as the earth personification, otherwise known as The Green Man. Can anyone enlighten me on this?
