  Diarmuid Ua Duibhne - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Irish mythology, Diarmuid Ua Duibhne (also known as Diarmuid of the love spot) was son of Donn and a warrior of the Fianna.
Diarmuid met a woman who caused a magical love spot to appear on his head; any woman that looked at his head fell instantly in love with him.
He ran off with her and was finally killed by a giant boar on the heath of Benn Gulbain.

Grainne, who is about to wed Fionn Mac Cumhail, persuades Diarmuid to elope with 'her and thus begins the most famous chase, "The Pursuit of Diarmuid and Grainne," which lasts sixteen years.
While Diarmuid is not exactly in love with Grainne at the start, he does grow to love this capricious woman of the myths.
Diarmuid's grandfather, the love god Aonghus Og, takes the body to Bruigh na Boinne and each day he sends a soul into the body so that he might talk with Diarmuid.
