LUGH •
Lugh or Lug (Old Irish: [l̪ˠuɣˠ]; Modern Irish: Lú [l̪ˠuː]) is a figure in Irish mythology. A member of the Tuatha Dé Danann, a group of supernatural beings, Lugh is portrayed as a warrior, a king, a master craftsman and a savior. He is associated with skill and mastery in multiple disciplines, including the arts. Lugh also has associations with oaths, truth and the law, and therefore with rightful kingship. Lugh is linked with the harvest festival of Lughnasadh, which bears his name. His most common epithets are Lámfada [ˈl̪ˠaːw ad̪ˠə] ("long hand" or "long arm", possibly for his skill with a spear or his ability as a ruler) and Samildánach [ˈsˠawˠil d̪ˠaːnˠəxˠ] ("equally skilled in many arts").
