	Lugh - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Lugh's father was Cian of the Tuatha Dé Danann and his mother was Ethniu, daughter of Balor, of the Fomorians.
		Lugh faced Balor, who opened his terrible, poisonous eye that killed all it looked upon, but Lugh shot a sling-stone (or in some versions, threw a spear) that drove his eye out the back of his head, wreaking havoc on the Fomorian army behind.
		Lugh instituted the harvest festival of Lughnasadh in memory of his foster-mother, Tailtiu, held on 1 August at the town that bears her name (now Teltown, County Meath), and to have led horse races and displays of martial arts.

		Lug or Lugh (modern Irish: LÃº, pronounced "loo") is a former Irish deity represented in mythological texts as a hero and High King of the distant past.

		The Celtic believed that if her memory was not honored that Lugh would storm down (apparently he also manifested as a weather God) and destroy the crops before they could be taken in from the fields, thereby dooming the community to starvation through the winter months.
