#MythologyMonday: #Milucra bewitched a lake near the summit of #SlieveGullion and tricked #Fionn Mac Cumhaill into swimming in it. He emerged silver-haired, aged and bent. The #Fianna, captured the #fairy and forced her to give their leader a restorative potion from her golden Cornucopia, but in doing so she made sure his hair remained silver. Some texts say it was the #Irish hero Cuilenn who came to Fionn’s rescue by offering him a drink from a golden cup, which also endowed the hero with wisdom.

Áine, daughter of either the #fairy king Cuilenn or a #Scottish king, was the lover of #FionnMacCumhail, by whom she had two sons. Áine and her sister #Milucra fought for Fionn’s affections. Milucra turned him into a graybearded ancient who would be uncompelled by lust, but Áine restored him to youth with a magical drink. Fionn, however, married neither of the sisters.
