However, he imposes three <i><a href="/wiki/Geis" class="mw-redirect" title="Geis">geasa</a></i> or prohibitions on him. Connla cannot turn back once he starts his journey, he must not refuse a challenge, and must never tell anyone his name. </p><p>Connla comes ashore at Tracht Eisi, where he practises his martial feats. The Ulaid, observing these, recognise his skill as a warrior, and <a href="/wiki/Conchobar_mac_Nessa" title="Conchobar mac Nessa">Conchobar</a> observes that any land which produces young boys of such skill must be home to warriors who would 'pound [the Ulaid] to dust'.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> They send Condere son of Echu to encounter him, and Condere asks Connla for his name and lineage, which he refuses to give. Condere then welcomes Connla, complimenting his skill as a warrior and inviting him to meet the Ulaid. But Connla only asks whether the Ulaid would like to fight him in single combat, or as a group, telling Condere that he is not worth fighting. </p><p>Condere returns to the Ulaid, and <a href="/wiki/Conall_Cernach" title="Conall Cernach">Conall Cernach</a> goes out to meet Connla, saying, "The Ulaid will not be shamed while I am alive."<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Connla strikes Conall with a stone from his slingshot that knocks him off his feet, and then disarms him.

In the Greek story of <a href="/wiki/Theseus" title="Theseus">Theseus</a> the hero is also born of an irregular union and raised by his mother in a far-off place. When of a similar stature to his unknown father he must take certain tokens left and set out to claim his birthright. He then combats with a series of opponents before meeting his father, Aegeus, and being recognised. A later unknowing father-son element in the story occurs when he returns from Crete, having killed the Minotaur, and the failure to reveal himself leads to the father's death. There are also strong similarities with the lost Greek epic poem the <a href="/wiki/Telegony" title="Telegony">Telegony</a> were father and son fight. In its surviving summary, found in the "<a href="/wiki/Chrestomathy" title="Chrestomathy">Chrestomathy</a> of Proclus", it is the unrecognised father rather than the son that is killed in combat. <a href="/wiki/Telegonus_(son_of_Odysseus)" title="Telegonus (son of Odysseus)">Telegonus</a>, the son seeking his father, born of a woman in foreign lands (to the enchantress <a href="/wiki/Circe" title="Circe">Circe</a>), after travelling as a stranger to his paternal land, inadvertently fights and kills his father <a href="/wiki/Odysseus" title="Odysseus">Odysseus</a>. This he does with a lance tipped with the venomous spine of a stingray which could stand, as argued by Edward Petit,<sup id="cite_ref-11" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> as the inspiration for the deadly Gáe Bulg of Cú Chulainn made from the bone of a sea monster, the Curruid. Again there is a scene as Odysseus lies dying, when he and Telegonus recognize one another, and in this case the son Telegonus laments his mistake. </p><p>The story also closely resembles the tenth-century tale of <a href="/wiki/Rostam_and_Sohrab" title="Rostam and Sohrab">Rostam and Sohrab</a> from the Iranian epic the <a href="/wiki/Shahnameh" title="Shahnameh">Shahnameh</a>; with an unknowing father-son in a closely matched wrestling duel in which the son is killed, a jewel token-memento and in some versions the use of a poisoned weapon as option of last resort. This in turn probably derives from the story of <a href="/wiki/Babruvahana" title="Babruvahana">Babruvahana</a>, son of <a href="/wiki/Arjuna" title="Arjuna">Arjuna</a>, in the <a href="/wiki/Mahabharata" title="Mahabharata">Mahabharata</a> part of the Indic epic tradition, with an unknowing father-son duel, a jewel-memento, the use of a divine weapon, the <a href="/wiki/Pashupatastra" title="Pashupatastra">Pashupatastra</a>, which cannot be resisted and is not to be used against lesser enemies, and particular to these two stories a following-a-horse element. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="In_literature">In literature</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Connla&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: In literature"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The story of Connla's death by his father's hand is related in the <a href="/wiki/W._B._Yeats" title="W.
