Dating back to the 12th century, the “Lebor Gabala” or “The Book of Invasions” talks about how Ireland came to be populated. After the great flood, only the Fomorians, a supernatural race in Irish mythology, were left alive on the Green Isle. These were giant monstrous beings, part human and part beast. When the Tuatha de Danann (“the people of the goddess Danu”) arrived in Ireland, they liked the place so much that they wanted to settle there for good. So that they would not be tempted to leave, they even set their ships on fire. However, on the Green Isle, they were confronted with the Fomorians.
