Ériu

Back to shelf
Living antiquarian grimoire portrait of Ériu before Irish grassland and a distant western sea beneath aged celestial rings.

Ériu is the specifically Irish daughter of Delbáeth and eponymic land-name figure preserved in Cath Maige Tuired and the Book of Leinster. She remains separate from Banba, Fódla, modern national allegory, and generic earth-mother imagery.
