Ba bhandia í Tailte (Sean-Ghaeilge Tailtiu or Tailltiu i Miotaseolaíocht na nGael.
Sanasaíocht
The goddess's name is linked to . A legendary dinnseanchas poem relates a myth connecting her with Tailtiu with Aonach Tailteann, Contae na Mí. [1] However, linguistic analysis of the name reveals that Tailtiu as a place-name derives from a loan word of Brythonic origin represented by the Welsh telediw "well formed, beautiful." [2] The mythological character of Tailtiu likely derives her name from the place-name.
Miotaseolaíocht na nGael
De réir Leabhar Gabhála na hÉireann, ba iníon rí na Spáinne í Tailte, agus bean chéile Eochaí mac Eirc, Ard-Rí na hÉireann deireanach de shliocht na bhFéar Bolg, who named his capital after her (Teltown, between Navan and Kells). She survived the invasion of the Tuatha Dé Danann and became the foster mother of Lugh.[3]
Tailtiu is said to have died of exhaustion after clearing the plains of Éire for agriculture. Lugh established a harvest festival and funeral games, Áenach Tailteann, in her honour, which continued to be celebrated as late as the 18th century.[3]
In Irish history
The first Áenach Tailteann, later the Tailtin Fair, was held at Teltown. Historically, the Áenach Tailteann was a time for contests of strength and skill, and a favoured time for contracting marriages and winter lodgings. A peace was declared at the festival, and religious celebrations were also held. Aspects of the festival survive in the celebrations of Lughnasadh, and were revived as the Teltown Games for a period in the twentieth century.[3]
A similar Lughnasadh festival was held at Carmun (whose exact location is under dispute). Similar to Tailtiu, the festival at Carmun is celebrated by a dindsenchas poem that provides a psedo-etymology for the site. The poem claims that the festival is named after the mythological Carmun, in a tale similar to that of Tailtiu. But as with Tailtiu, this mythological figure likely derives its name from the place-name.
In historical times the town of Tailtiu was where the principal assembly of the early Uí Néill dynasties was held.
From the Locus Project at CELT, Tailte had one or two raths [residence(s)] in Munster:
- ráith canann: a ráith of queen Tailte, LL 201; cf. Rathcannon tl., Co. Limerick
- ráith con: rath of queen Tailte, LL 201; in Tuath Tailten, UM 165b, Lec. 514, Stowe D ii 2, 656; cf. Rathcon, in dry. and d. Cashel, Tax
Rathcanann and Rath Con may or may not be identical.
