Tuatha Dé Danann
Celtic divine tribe
Tuatha Dé Danann is a supernatural race in Irish mythology, often translated as "the peoples of the goddess Danu." In medieval Irish texts, they were the godlike inhabitants of Ireland before being driven underground by human invaders, becoming the fairies or *sídhe* of later folklore.
The term appears in discussions of Celtic mythology, fantasy literature, and Irish cultural heritage: The old stories say the Tuatha Dé Danann retreated into the hollow hills.
