The Mythological Cycle is one of the four major cycles of Irish mythology, and is so called because it represents the remains of the pagan mythology of pre-Christian Ireland, although the gods and supernatural beings have been euhemerised by their Christian redactors into historical kings and heroes.

By far the most valuable of them is Cath Maige Tuired, a text first known from a 16th-century manuscript written by members of the Uí Cléirigh scribal family of Donegal, but reproducing an 11th-century original which may well have been based on material going back as far as the 9th century.
Certainly some version or other of Cath Maige Tuired would have been the most popular material for this in early Ireland (even though the literary sources had the battle -- like virtually all supernatural events -- taking place on Samhain!), but a huge number of variants were possible.
Often the implication is that she is a Fomorian woman, a power of the fertility of the Land who defects to the side of the Tribe -- and perhaps this would include Lúgh's mother, Eithne, whose name could be understood as "kernel".

This correlates with the conflict between the gods of culture and the gods of nature, which is a major theme of Indo-European mythology in general.
Scholars have sometimes called the material based on the Lebor Gabála the “Mythological Cycle”;, and there are other well-known stories related to it, such as Cath Maige Tuired (the Battle of Maigh Tuireadh).
There’s evidence that the Celts of Britain attempted a similar reworking of their native lore during the early Middle Ages, but not as much of it has survived: mainly the Latin accounts of Nennius and Geoffrey of Monmouth, and the later Welsh summary called Brut y Brenhinoedd.
