Danu

In Celtic mythology, the mother-goddess and land-goddess. Her name parallels those of goddesses in other Indo-European languages as well as the names of various European rivers, such as the Danube. She was also known as the war-goddess Morrigan or Mor-Ríoghain (‘phantom-queen’), under which name she appears as the consort of the Dagda, leader of the mythological Tuatha Dé Danaan in Ireland's medieval hero-tales.
