In #Meiche`s heart were three great serpents. The hero Mac Cécht killed him, because had he lived, the serpents would have split his heart open and devoured all of #Ireland. Mac Cécht burned the heart to ashes, then threw the ashes into a river, which boiled to death every living creature within its waters. #Meiche was the only son of the #Morrígán.
