  1. #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.
