Celtic Mythology: Tales of Gods, Goddesses, and Heroes

Cú Chulainn has to be the standout of Celtic mythology. He's the only figure that made a lasting impression on me, whereas everyone else blended into their titles of king or queen, god or goddess. I'm interested to learn more about the stories surrounding Cú Chulainn in depth. Go dog boy go!
And also: other mythologies do women better. The Greeks, Romans, Norse etcetera feature much more impressionable, strong, interesting female figures, despite being simultaneously more outwardly misogynistic.
It's pretty cool that the theme of impersonation is an anomaly of Celtic myth!
(NOTE: Only read/rated up to page 152, as that's what I read for class)
