Crom Dubh - In this story there is a contest of power between Crom Dubh(literally meaning 'black stoop' or 'dark croucher') and Saint Brendan(Bréanainn;'braen-fhind' literally meaning 'fair drop'). The tale could be associated with the power-shift from the old pagan ways to the new Christian beliefs and the age-old clash of 'light' and 'dark'.
