#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 over her, turning Odras into the River Odras, which in Modern #Irish must correspond to today’s River Boyle (an Bhúill in Irish).

Once the sound of a gigantic voice issuing from the tiny opening of the cave called #Oweynagat, the cave of cats, frightened away the heroine or goddess Erne and a group of maidens from Cruachan, the great capital of the province of #Connacht. `Taking with her the comb (symbol of feminine potency) of her mistress, the great queen #Medb, Erne took her party northward to a lake in which they all drowned.` This is how the river Erne (an Éirne in Modern #Irish) and the lake from which it rises gained their names.
