		Magh Ithe, the "Plain of Ith", was said to have been named after Ith, the uncle of Míl Espáine, who was killed by the Tuatha Dé Danann.

	Milesius of Spain
		Ithe and his companions having visited Ireland for the purpose of inspection, were honorably received and entertained by the native Irish, who, finding Ithe to be a man of great wisdom and knowledge, referred their disputes to him for settlement.
		No sooner had he gone than the chiefs began to suspect the object of his visit, and, to prevent his returning with an army to invade their country, they pursued and overtook him before he had time to reach his ship.
		The exposing of the dead body of Ithe had the desired effect, for thereupon Milesius made great preparations to invade Ireland, but before he could effect that object he died, leaving the care and charge of the expedition to his 8 sons.
