* In the [[Ulster Cycle]] he fathered [[Cúchulainn]] with the mortal maiden [[Deichtine]]. When Cúchulainn lay wounded after a gruelling series of combats during the ''[[Táin Bó Cuailnge]]'' (Cattle Raid of Cooley), Lugh appeared and healed his wounds over a period of three days.
* In ''Baile in Scáil'' (The Phantom's Trance), a story of the [[Historical Cycle]], Lugh appeared in a vision to [[Conn of the Hundred Battles]]. Enthroned on a daïs, he directed a beautiful woman called the Sovereignty of Ireland to serve Conn a portion of meat and a cup of red [[ale]], ritually confirming his right to rule and the dynasty that would follow him.
