Topic: Cessair


  
  Cessair - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Irish mythology, Cessair (or Ceasair) was the leader of the first inhabitants of Ireland before the Biblical Flood, in what may be a Christianisation of a legend that pre-dates the conversion, but may alternatively be the product of post-conversion pseudohistory.
Cessair and sixteen others went with Fintan, seventeen, including Barann, went with Bith and sixteen, including Balba, with Ladra, but Ladra died and his wives were shared between Fintan and Bith.
Cessair is also the name of a daughter of the king of Gaul who married the High King of Ireland, Úgaine Mor, in the 5th or 6th century BC.

 Fintan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Irish mythology Fintan mac Bóchra, known as "the Wise", was a seer who accompanied Noah's granddaughter Cessair to Ireland before the deluge.
He was one of only three men in the expedition, along with fifty women, so he, Cessair's father Bith, and the pilot, Ladra, had sixteen wives each.
His wives and children were drowned when the flood arrived but he survived in the form of a salmon, remaining a year under the waters in a cave called Fintán's Grave.

Cessair, as fashioned a bit by the monk transcribers, was said to be the granddaughter of Noah, and arrived in Ireland forty days before the Flood, thus becoming the first human on the island.
These men quickly did their arithmetic and divvied up Cessair's women, such that each man had 17 maidens for himself.
Though Noah calculated that the Flood would not reach the Western World, his estimates were wrong, and the waters swept Ireland and all of Cessair's following--except for Fintan, a male who pops up now and again over the centuries to help retell various other myths.

The invasions of Cessair and the Tuatha de Danann are demonstrably later insertions into the Milesian tradition while that of the Fir Bolg is simply a duplicate of the earlier invasion of Nemed.

When the biblical flood was imminent, so the story goes, Noah's son Bith and his daughter Cessair found that there was no room for them in the ark. So they and their retinue set sail for Ireland which, Cessair was advised, was uninhabited, free of monsters, reptiles and sin, and would therefore escape the flood.
However, although 49 women survived to land along with Cessair in 2958 BC, only two men besides Bith made it.
The three men divided the women between them, but when Bith and Ladra, the pilot, died, Fintan, the last man, was overwhelmed and, to his eternal shame, ran away - upon which Cessair, who loved him, died of sorrow.
