Cuchulainn - The hound of Ulster

Ferdiad would not be swayed. Lest he weaken under Cuchullains pleas he responded only with taunts against his friend, now foe.

So they fought. They fought for four days and eventually, after a tremendous effort, Cuchullain laid Ferdiad down and then fell into a trance of sorrow and weakness after the epic duel.

As is the way with such heroes, Cuchulainn died on the battlefield. He was propped against a large rock whilst dead, with a spear in his hand and a buckler on his arm, and with such a defiant attitude was able to strike fear into his enemies even after death.
