“Not only was Mongan an Irish King, he was also a god, the son of the Tuatha De Danann Manannan Mac Lir…And so it is that long after their conquest the People of the Goddess Dana ruled their conquerers, for they took upon themselves human bodies, being born as the children of the kings of Mil’s sons.”
