Tailtu

The daughter of a ruler of the Firbolg. She was said to have cleared the forest of Breg so that it became a plain, a task which killed her. Because she was the foster-mother of the sun god Lugh, he declared a festival in her honour on the first of August, originally a sporting competition - the festival of Lughnasadh.
