Cumhal

In the Irish Celtic Mythology, Cumhal (or Cumaill ) is a very dreaded warlike god. He is the son of the king of the Tuatha Dé Danann Nuada, the husband of Muirné as well as the father of Finn Mac Cumaill, called Deimne when he is child. Wanting to link itself in very beautiful Muirné, against the opinion of his/her father the Druid Tagd, it must remove it. As reprisals, the druid utilizes the king of Ireland, Conn Cetchathach (Idiot with the Hundred Battles), with mission of killing the kidnapper. What is made.

In Gaulle, there exists a god is known under the name of Camulos , that the Romans will associate with Mars. This name is very close to that of Cumhal (a common Celtic heritage). What carries to believe that the hero would be only one evhemerized figure of this god of the war.

It should be noted that during Welsh of End, the son of Cumhal is Gwynn ap Nudd, Gwynn wire of Nudd. The name of this Nudd (doubled bloom of king Llud) is the phonetic result of the name of the god Brittonique Nodons (Mars) and corresponds to the Irishman Nuada. As Nodons and Camulos are cognomines referring to the Roman god of the war Mars, it is possible that Cumhal is ultimately only one double heroic of his/her father, the king of the gods Nuada.
