Among the three brethren Gavida was the smith, and his forge was at the Druim na Teine ("ridge of the fire"). </p><p>Mac Kineely (who corresponds to Cian) was a lord of some districts and owned the coveted cow, the Glas Gaivlen, which produced milk aplenty. Balor receives prophesy from his druids that he was destined to fall by the hands of his grandson. So he locks away his daughter Ethnea in a tower built upon an inaccessible and towering rockscape called the Tor-More. Balor landed ashore to steal the cow. Mac Kineely had business with the smith, and, out of his usual habit, had entrusted the halter of the cow to his other brother. Balor then came up to this brother (Mac Samthainn) and whispered him a lie that the other two were secretly colluding to use up all his steel to build Mac Kineely's sword, and to make his out of iron," tricking him into rushing off to investigate. By the time the brothers realised, Balor had already rowed halfway down the strait with the cow on his boat. Mac Kineely had a <i><a href="/wiki/Leanan_s%C3%ADdhe" title="Leanan sídhe">leanan-sidhe</a></i> (familiar sprite) by the name of "Biroge of the Mountain," and she would assist him in trying to vanquish Balor to recover the cow. This <a href="/wiki/Banshee" title="Banshee">banshee</a> was only able to sow the seeds of Balor's destruction, and it is not clear if the cow was ever recovered. On the wings of a storm she brought Mac Kineeley, dressed in woman's guise, into the tower where Balor's daughter lived trapped, attended by twelve matrons. Mac Kineely and the maiden fell in love, and they had three sons. Balor discovered this and slew Mac Kineely by a certain rock, whose red stains were still visible in the days when the folk tale was recited. </p><p>Of the three infants, just one managed to survive, and adopted by the smith Gavida, was raised as his apprentice. One day, Balor appeared on the forge, and ordered some spears to be made when only the apprentice was at the workshop. Balor let slip the fact that he had killed Mac Kineely, not realizing the apprentice was the bereaved son (not named, but presumably the equivalent of Lugh). The apprentice, pretending to slave away at the forge, awaited his chance and "taking a glowing rod from the furnace, thrust it through the Basilisk eye of Balor," thus exacting his revenge.<sup id="cite_ref-odonovan_2-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-odonovan-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Local_geographical_legend_and_Fenian_Cycle">Local geographical legend and Fenian Cycle</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Glas_Gaibhnenn&action=edit&section=10" title="Edit section: Local geographical legend and Fenian Cycle"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The remains of a <a href="/wiki/Dolmen" title="Dolmen">dolmen</a> in <a href="/w/index.php?title=Shallee&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Shallee (page does not exist)">Shallee</a>, <a href="/wiki/List_of_townlands_of_County_Clare" title="List of townlands of County Clare">County Clare</a> is called the <i>Leaba-na-glaise</i> or the "Bed of the Cerulean Cow" (i.e., bed of Glas the green cow),<sup id="cite_ref-borlase_36-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-borlase-36"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>32<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> and is alleged to be the property of a mythical smith, either Mac Kineely (same name as the hero of the prior tale), or Lon Mac Liomhtha (apparently the smith who forged the sword Mac an Luin).<sup id="cite_ref-borlase_36-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-borlase-36"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>32<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In the same county lies <i>Slieve-n-glaise</i> (Slievenaglasha) and one dolmen in particular erected on its slope was called <a href="/wiki/Slievenaglasha_Wedge_Tomb" title="Slievenaglasha Wedge Tomb"><i>Carrick-na-glaise</i></a>, reputedly the abode of Lon mac Liomhtha the smith.<sup id="cite_ref-37" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-37"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>33<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>O'Donovan has gathered further Fenian lore, according to which, Lon the smith who took up residence here was said to be a member of the <a href="/wiki/Tuatha_D%C3%A9_Danann" title="Tuatha Dé Danann">Tuatha Dé Danann</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-cow-corofin-co-clare_7-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-cow-corofin-co-clare-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> He had an extra pectoral arm for holding his tong<sup id="cite_ref-cow-corofin-co-clare_7-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-cow-corofin-co-clare-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> ("Two of the hands were in the usual position, and the third, with which he turned the iron of the anvil, while he hammered with the other two, grew from the middle of his breast."<sup id="cite_ref-38" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-38"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>34<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>) and one leg to hop on (or rather take huge leaps and bounds upon).<sup id="cite_ref-39" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-39"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>35<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> He was for many years nourished by the cow Glas Gaibhneach which he stole from Spain, and the cow was pastured on the mountain of Sliabh-na-Glaise, not far from the forge, for no other place in Ireland was fertile enough.
