Dian
1. Son of the malevolent Carman who joined his two brothers in laying waste to Ireland.

2. Young chieftain of the Fianna of Fionn mac Cumhaill who was taken to the Otherworld by the powers of the sídh. On his return to the world of mortals he reported that he would prefer to be a slave of the Fianna than a ruler in the Otherworld (an echo of Achilles'remark to Odysseus in the Odyssey).
