Ériu

Ériu is a figure from Irish mythology, often regarded as a goddess and the personification of Ireland itself. She is one of the three sovereign goddesses of the Tuatha Dé Danann and is traditionally associated with the land, embodying its fertility and spirit. Her name is the root of the modern name for Ireland, 'Éire,' and she is linked to the ancient tales of the island's formation and its early inhabitants. In the context of Uisneach, Ériu's mythological significance is highlighted as her resting place is said to be beneath the stone known as Ail na Mireann, marking the center of Ireland and symbolizing the unity of the provinces.
