  11. In #mythology Lough na Súil is where #Lugh Lámfhada killed his own grandfather, #Balor of the Evil Eye. Balor fell face down into the ground, his evil eye burning a great crater in the earth, which filled up with water, and so the Lough was formed. #Celtic

  12. Since spying on his father‘s #druids the king of the demonic #Fomori people had only one eye. Hence his epithet `Balor of the Evil/Poison Eye`. When opened it presented such a terrible and destructive sight that anyone who looked at it died or offered no resistance. However, #Balor was so huge that he could hardly move and four #Fomors had to lift his eyelid with the help of a hook. #Celtic

  22. #Cian had the task of tending the magic cow of the blacksmith Gaivnin Gow. She moved so fast and so far that it was no wonder that Cian eventually became inattentive and took a nap. When he awoke, the #GlasGhaibhleann had disappeared. Cian had to travel to the realm of #Balor of the Evil Eye. The monstrous #Fomorian king set him impossible tasks to get the cow back. There, however, #Cian seduced Balor's beautiful daughter #Eithne and begat #Lugh. Finally, Cian returned the #GlasGhaibhleann to the blacksmith.
