#Odras was the wife of a cattle lord. She refused to let one of her cows mate with the bull of the Mórrígan. The goddess took the cows of Odras who followed her into the Cave of Crúachain/#Oweynagat before falling under an enchanted sleep. Upon awakening the milkmaid saw the Morrígan who whispered a spell turning her into the River Odras, Odhras in Modern #Irish - which must correspond to today’s River Boyle (an Bhúill in Irish).

`One of the many #Eithnes was drowned in the stream of Bearramhain while she was pregnant by the #mythical King #Conchobhar mac Nessa. Their son Furbaidhe was cut from her womb and the river was called Inny (an Eithne in #Irish) after her. Another poem offers a slightly different story. It tells that Eithne, the wife of Conchobhar, was drowned by Lugaid, while expecting Furbaidhe, in a river which now bears her name.`
