They are both at times portrayed as scheming and deceitful, but they fit well together and accept each other. Until they don't. The one relationship that Ailill can't seem to get past is Medb's affair with Fergus, and it leads to Fergus' death. When Ailill is later carrying on an affair of his own, Medb asks Conall Cernach to deal with it, and he is happy to kill Ailill to avenge Fergus. No happy endings here, but a good marriage while it lasted? 3/3 #MythologyMonday #IrishMyth

Ailill grew to be a powerful warrior, and Eochaid Dala became jealous. He challenged Ailill, and Medb intervened to ensure Ailill's victory. After Eochaid's death, Ailill ruled Connacht with Medb. Many stories say that Medb kept Ailill as her husband because he was a man without meanness, without jealousy, and without fear. This is what she requires in a husband, and he is the only man who suits her. 2/3#MythologyMonday #IrishMyth

The relationship between Ailill and Medb is a fascinating one. Medb's first partner was Conchobar, but she left him. Her second partner was Tindi mac Connra, who declared war on Conchobar because he raped Medb. Tindi was killed by his own brother at Conchobar's urging. Eochaid Dala then took over the battle and became Medb's third partner and ruled Connacht with her. During this time Ailill, who was the grandson of Medb's sister Ele, came to be fostered by Medb. 1/3 #MythologyMonday #IrishMyth

The fact that Óengus buys Étaín for Midir isn't exactly romantic, and he's only doing it to compensate Midir for an injury that he sustained in Óengus' territory. The relationship between Óengus' parents might qualify much better as a romance. The Dagda sends Bóand's husband away and literally alters the flow of time so that he can have a child with her before her husband returns in the evening. 3/3 #MythologyMonday #IrishMyth

The second woman Óengus is linked with is Cáer Ibormeith, who visits him in his dreams and makes him sick. When his lovesickness is diagnosed, cooperation and exchanges of favours between various members of the Túatha Dé Danann and humans are required in order to locate Cáer Ibormeith and negotiate for her. With the sole exception of Óengus wooing Étaín on behalf of his foster-father Midir, Óengus can't really be said to be involved in love or romance at all. 2/3 #MythologyMonday #IrishMyth

A common misconception is that the Irish Óengus is a god of love, but there's no real reason to think this. He is the son of the Dagda and the Bóand and the stories about him are more focused on questions of land ownership and exchange and on legal trickery than on love. He is linked with two different women. The first is Derbriu, who is the sister of Medb. When Derbriu's foster-sons are turned into pigs, Óengus tries to help them, but ultimately fails. 1/3 #MythologyMonday #IrishMyth

After his bath, Fráech was taken to bed to rest, but soon after a weeping was heard. The weeping was the sound of Fráech's mother and the women of Bóand, who had come to take Fráech into the síd of Crúachan. He returned the following day, completely healed. Fráech later died after facing Cú Chulainn in single combat in Táin Bó Cúailnge, and women from the síd came for him again, this time to take his body into what became known as the síd of Fráech. #MythologyMonday #IrishMyth 3/3

During this sleep, a warrior of the síd used healing plants and herbs and a curing charm to heal Cú Chulainn's wounds. Another warrior who was healed in the síd is Fráech, whose mother was Bé Find, sister of Bóand. After Fráech was wounded during his combat with a lake monster, Ailill and Medb ordered that a bath be prepared for him with a broth of fresh bacon and the flesh of a heifer. 2/3 #MythologyMonday #IrishMyth
