Eochu Buadach

Dar le hathleaganacha ar leith de Leabhar Gabhála na hÉireann (LGÉ), bhí Eochaidh Buach (Sean-Ghaeilge: Eochu Buadach) mac Dui Ladrach ina Ardrí na hÉireann. However, he is not included as a High King in other versions of the story. He was the father of two High Kings of Ireland, Úgaine Mór and Bodbchad.

== Athleagan According to the R. A. Stewart Macalister translation of Lebor Gabála Érenn, in part 5, page 265, it says:

Sean-Ghaeilge	NuaGhaeilge
Iarom roscascladh flaithius Ulad ó Themur, conrogabsat flaithius Eochu Buadach mac Duach—athair Ugaine Móir, dia raba altram Cimbáeda meic Fintain.	Ina dhiaidh sin, scaradh Ulaidh ó Theamhraigh, agus thóg Eochaidh Buach mac Duach flaitheas [Éireann] - athair Úgaine Mhóir, a bhí féin ina athair altrama Chiombaoith mhic Fhiontain.

Macalister says that it is an abstract from the Roll of the Kings from Oengus Olmucach to Cimbáeth, appended to the Second Redaction (R²). Macalister describes the text as an Emain Macha interpolation. However, Macalister does not include Eochu Buadach as a High King in his main Ardríthe na hÉireann.

If Eochu Buadach was a High King of Ireland for any period of time, his reign would have been near the end of the reign of Cimbáeth, and his reign ended in 661 BC, according to the Annála na gCeithre Máistrí timeline.

Lughnasadh, Lughnasa or Lúnasa (/ˈluːnəsə/ Teimpléad:Respell, ga) is a Gaelic festival marking the beginning of the harvest season. Historically, it was widely observed throughout Ireland, Scotland, and the Isle of Man. Traditionally, it is held on 1 August, or about halfway between the summer solstice and autumn equinox. In recent centuries, some celebrations have shifted to Sundays near this date. Lughnasadh is one of the four Gaelic seasonal festivals, along with Samhain, Imbolc, and Beltane. It corresponds to the Welsh Gŵyl Awst and the English Lammas.

Lughnasadh is mentioned in early Irish literature and has pagan origins. The festival is named after the god Lugh. In the Middle Ages, it involved great gatherings that included ceremonies, athletic contests (most notably the Tailteann Games), horse racing, feasting, matchmaking, and trading. According to folklorist Máire MacNeill, evidence suggests that the religious rites included an offering of the First Fruits, a feast of the new food, the sacrifice of a bull, and a ritual dance-play. In recent centuries, Lughnasadh gatherings have typically been held atop hills and mountains, including many of the same activities.

== Sanasaíocht In Old Irish the name was Lugnasad (ga). This is a combination of Lug (the god Lugh) and násad (an assembly), which is unstressed when used as a suffix. Another theory is that it originated from the word nás (death), rather than násad. Later spellings include Luᵹ̇nasaḋ, Lughnasadh and Lughnasa.

==Mythology and folklore

The Corleck Head is a carved stone head with three faces associated with a site of Lughnasadh celebrations in Ireland. It dates from the 1st or 2nd century AD.

In Irish mythology, Lughnasadh is said to have been founded by the god Lugh as a funeral feast and athletic competition—funeral games—to commemorate the death of an earth goddess. Irish myths about Lughnasadh and Lughnasadh sites tend to feature a woman who is carried off or held against her will, and who dies of grief, shame, exhaustion, or unspecified natural causes. Parallels with the Greek tale of Persephone have been noted. A story about the Lughnasadh site of Tailtin says the festival was founded by Lugh as funeral games in memory of his foster-mother Tailtiu.

She was said to have died of exhaustion after clearing the plains of Ireland for agriculture. Tailtiu may have been an earth goddess who represented the dying vegetation that fed mankind. Another tale, about the assembly site of an Nás, says that Lugh founded the festival in memory of his two wives, the sisters Nás and Bói.

One theory is that it was a mourning (or wake) for the end of summer.

Folklorist Máire MacNeill extensively studied the later folklore and traditions of Lughnasadh. She concludes that the main theme is a struggle for the harvest between two gods. One god, usually called Crom Dubh in later folklore, guards the grain as his treasure. The other god, Lugh, must seize it for mankind.

Sometimes, this was portrayed as a struggle over a woman called Eithne, who represents the grain. Lugh also fights and defeats a figure representing blight.  MacNeill says that these themes can be seen in earlier Irish mythology, particularly in the tale of Lugh defeating Balor, which seems to represent the overcoming of blight, drought and the scorching summer sun.

In surviving folklore, Lugh is usually replaced by Naomh Pádraig, while Crom Dubh is a pagan chief who owns a granary or a bull and who opposes Patrick, but is overcome and converted.  Crom Dubh is likely the same figure as Crom Cruach and shares some traits with an Dagda and Donn. He may be based on an underworld god like Hades and Pluto, who kidnaps the grain goddess Persephone but is forced to let her return to the world above before harvest time.
