[ Aoifa ] [ Bran ]  [ Cuchulainn ] 

Bran was a famous hero from the myths of the sea. On a voyage Bran found a magic silver branch with white flowers. A singing woman managed to captivate Bran and his men, thereby stealing the branch. Bran's travels then began with a crew of 27 men. They first encountered Manannan Mac Lir who told them of everything that awaited them. The boat and crew later emerged at the Isle of Meriment (causing eternal laughter) and later the Isle of Women. The women managed to get the boat to shore and lavished the men for years. This is very similar to what happened to Odysseus and his crew in the Odyssey. When they left they were warned not to step on soil, else they turn into ash. Bran sought his home to be find those he knew, but found none who knew him. Thus deciding to set sail again.
