Cethlion of the Crooked Teeth was the queen of the ancient #Irish race called the #Fomorians. The wife of Balor was a prophet who foresaw her people’s defeat at the hands of the invading #TuathaDéDanann at the Second Battle of Mag Tuired. This foreknowledge did not stop her from waging a fierce battle in which she wounded or killed one of the chiefs of her enemies, the Dagda.
