Cathbad, Cathbhadh, Cabadius. Chief
druid of the court of
Conchobar mac Nessa and one of the leading figures of the
Ulster Cycle. He predicts the fate of
Deirdre before she is born. He teaches
Cúchulainn, who overhears him saying that the youth who takes up arms on a certain day will become the champion of Ireland but will die young. His daughter is
Findchóem, mother of
Conall Cernach. In some versions he is the real father of Conchobar.
Macpherson's character
Caithbath in
Ossian (1760) seems based on Cathbad.
