Dagda spared Corrgenn’s life but made him carry Aedh’s body until he found a fitting gravestone.(The Gods · The Ever-living Living Ones · The Dagda)
- With: Dagda
- “So he spared his life for that time, but if he did, Corrgenn did not gain much by it. For the punishment he put on him was to take the dead body of the young man on his back, and never to lay it down till he would find a stone that would be its very fit in length and in breadth, and that would make a gravestone for him; and when he had found that, he could bury him in the nearest hill.”
After burying Aedh beneath the fitting stone, Corrgenn dropped dead.(The Gods · The Ever-living Living Ones · The Dagda · 📍 Loch Feabhail)
