- The Dagda – “the good god” – was the chief of the Celtic gods and the Tuatha De Danann.
- He was the god of life and death, the earth and treaties.
- He had a cauldron that fed all the people, an allusion to his role as vegetation god.
- Each year, he slept with the Morrigan, the goddess of war.
- He carried one staff, one end of which could kill nine men at a time; the other end could bring them back to life.
- He brought on the seasons with his magic harp.
- He had superhuman strength and a strong sexual appetite.
