A third battle was fought against a subsequent wave of invaders, the Milesians?, from Spain (who are thought to have been the Celts), who overcame the goddess, Eriu? whom the Tuatha de Danaan sent against them. The Milesians were magnanimous in victory and named the island Erin, the dative form of her name, in her honour. Defeated, the Tuatha were led underground by The Dagda. |
