When Chief Eochaid Mac Eirc of the Fir Bolg ignores Sreng's advice to compromise with the Tuath Dé, Chief Nuada calls on three powerful goddesses with a passion for pandemonium to give them some supernatural encouragement. Meet the Morrigan in her threefold form - Badbh, Macha, and Nemhain. Find out about her role in Irish Mythology and her relationship to other female divinities in other mythologies.
