Amongst other Irish gods was Bove Derg, who dwelt invisible in
the Galtee mountains, and in the hills above Lough Derg. The
transformed children alluded to in Vol. I. were his grand-children.
It was his goldsmith Len, who gave its ancient name to the Lakes of
Killarney, Locha Lein. Here by the lake he worked, surrounded by
rainbows and showers of fiery dew.

Mananan was the god of the sea, of winds and storms, and most
skilled in magic lore. He was friendly to Cuculain, and was invoked
by seafaring men. He was called the Far Shee of the promontories.
