...The Danaan Giants (another name for the race of the goddess Danu) were defeated by the Milesians and fled across the sea to live in the Land of Ever-Youth, and are believed to still exist as an invisible race, hiding in the ruins of earthen mounds and circular earthen forts, or in stone trenches and burial mounds, as the sidh, a fairy with an underground paradise. The Danaan Giants also gave birth to heroes through negotiations with humans. For example, the sun god Lugh transformed into a fly and entered the queen's cup, was drunk, fell into her womb, and became Cuchulinn.

These heroic myths are divided into two series. *Some of the terminology that mentions "Fion" is listed below. Source | Heibonsha World Encyclopedia 2nd Edition | Information |
