Midir
In
Irish mythology Midir (or Midhir) was a son of
the Dagda of the
Tuatha Dé Danann. After the Tuatha Dé were defeated by the
Milesians, he lived in the
sidh of Bri Leith. Midir was the husband of
Fuamnach, but later fell in love with
Étain, receiving the help of his foster-son and half-brother
Aengus to make her his new bride. This provoked Fuamnach's vengeance against the young new wife, causing her a number of disgraces, until after several transformations Étain married
Eochaid Airem, at that time the
High King of Ireland. Far from giving up, Midir made an attempt to bring his wife back home, going to see the king and challenging to a gameof
fidchell. Midir won and asked a
kiss from Étain as his prize, but Eochaid refused, breaking his word and banishing Midir from
Tara. Nevertheless Midir could enter the city and the palace, and turning himself and Étain into swans left the royal residence through the chimney. Eochaid did not accept the loss of his wife and pursued them. Then Midir used his magical powers to turn fifty women into similar to Étain, offering the king the possibility to choose only one. Eochaid, trying to find the true one, chose his own daughter by accident and lost Étain.
