Question

The first king of this group is Érimón, a name usually taken to reflect the Indo-European word for “Aryan-ness.” For 10 points each:
[10h] Name this group of humans. In a medieval poem, the gods go underground after this group is brought to land by a song that lets their ships reach closer than nine waves.
ANSWER: Milesians [or children of Míl Espáine; prompt on Celts, Celtic, Gaels, Gaelic, Na Gaeil, Irish, or Muintir na hÉireann] (The song is the “Song of Amergin.”)
[10m] The Milesians succeed a pantheon called the “people of” this reconstructed Irish mother goddess, who likely originates in the Indo-European personification of the river.
ANSWER: *Danu [or Danann; prompt on Tuatha Dé Danann by asking “which word is her name?”]
[10e] The Irish gods are themselves invaders, having been led by this “long-armed” god who destroys the Fomorian king Balor. He is the father of Cú Chulainn in the Ulster Cycle.
ANSWER: Lugh [or Lug or Lú; accept Lugus; reject “Lleu” or “Lleu Llaw Gyffes”]
