In one version about #CĂșChulainn's origins, #Deichtine disappeared from #EmainMacha, until the nobles of #Ulster were led by a flock of magical birds to a house, where they were welcomed by #Lugh. He told them his wife was due to give birth soon, and when she did the Ulstermen discovered she was #Deichtine. The child was named #SĂ©tanta and brought up by #SĂșaltam and Deichtine in their house on Muirthemne Plain in County #Louth.

AillĂ©n Trechenn (Trechend) âTriple-headed Aillenâ was a murderous monster that regularly attacked #Irelandâs great capital #Tara, as well as the regional capital of #EmainMacha in #Ulster. Described as sometimes male, sometimes female, this fiend lived in the cave called #Oweynagat at the #Connacht capital of Cruachan. The poet Amairgin finally dispatched the monster and freed Tara from its stranglehold.

Great image by @copter_view@twitter.com of Oweynagat, Roscommon. This cave was thought to be a portal to the Otherworld, through which the goddess Morrigan travelled. At Samhain (Halloween) the cave's magic was believed to be particularly powerful, allowing spirits to enter our world at ease

On the central axis of this map, two places called #Regia are marked. I assume that these indicate the seats of the High King in #Tara, Co. #Meath, and that of the Provincial King of #Connacht in #CrĂșachain. #Rhaeba could refer to #CnocAilinne in Co. #Kildare as the seat of the provincial king. #Macolicum could stand for the 4th provincial capital in #Munster. Ptolemy's #Regia in #Ulster, #EmainMacha, is sadly missing, as is the spiritual centre of #Ăire on the #HillOfUisneach.
