Among the talismans #Lugh demanded from Tuireann's three sons as punishment for the murder of his father #Cian were three apples (according to the tale, from the Hesperides Garden in the East of the World).
Lugh said: „Only these apples will satisfy me, as they are the best and most beautiful in the world. This is what they are made of: Their color is that of polished gold, and the head of a one-month-old child is no larger than any one of these apples. When you dine on them, they taste like honey, and bleeding wounds and the most malignant diseases disappear. The apples do not diminish when eaten, even if one eats from them for a long time and constantly. Whoever succeeds in taking one of these apples has accomplished his greatest feat, since he will never lose it again.“

#Cian had the task of tending the magic cow of the blacksmith Gaivnin Gow. She moved so fast and so far that it was no wonder that Cian eventually became inattentive and took a nap. When he awoke, the #GlasGhaibhleann had disappeared. Cian had to travel to the realm of #Balor of the Evil Eye. The monstrous #Fomorian king set him impossible tasks to get the cow back. There, however, #Cian seduced Balor's beautiful daughter #Eithne and begat #Lugh. Finally, Cian returned the #GlasGhaibhleann to the blacksmith.

Many #Irish myths revolve around the collecting of an honorprice. Instead of killing Tuireann's sons for murdering his father, #Lugh demanded payment of the éric, for the #nonviolent settlement of the dispute. However, the sons of Tuireann had to perform impossible feats as punishment for killing #Cian. “Every éric is evil,” stated the Senchas Mór, the great collection of legal documents and commentaries, on the grounds that it almost inevitably led to more bloodshed.
