Tadg mac Céin. Son of
Cian (3), grandson of
Ailill Aulomm, who has the vision of
Clídna as the noblest and most beautiful of women, attended by three brightly coloured
birds. In adventures in the
Otherworld he comes to a mysterious island ruled by two sons of
Bodb, where a woman tells him that all the kings of Ireland from
Conn Cétchathach [of the Hundred Battles] live here. He also meets
Connla (2) and his fairy woman as well as the
apple tree that lured him. Returning to the mortal world, Tadg realizes he has been gone a year. An earthly alliance with
Cormac mac Airt proves disappointing. In a campaign against
Ulster, Cormac promises allies as much land as they can circle in a chariot. When Cormac learns that Tadg has his sights on
Tara, he bribes Tadg's charioteer not to complete the circle, thus depriving him of the award. Learning of this, Tadg kills the charioteer. Tadg is also an ancestor-deity cited in
Munster and
Leinster pedigrees.
