#MythologyMonday #DisabilityTwitter: Since spying on his father`s #druids the king of the demonic #Fomori people had only one eye. Hence his epithet `Balor of the Evil/Poison Eye`. When opened it presented such a terrible and destructive sight that anyone who looked at it died or offered no resistance. However, #Balor was so huge that he could hardly move and four #Fomors had to lift his eyelid with the help of a hook.

#Balor
Of the Mighty Blows whose name meant death. As a child he spied on his father's druids enacting an eldritch rite to lay a plague upon their enemies and some of the spell's vapours went into his eye, causing it to swell to a great size and granting it the power of death. https://twitter.com/dublinmacker/status/1271150850208141313
