Fomorian

All the Scottish gods were giants, like the Fomorians of Ireland.

"We will go into the battle with you," said they; "and each of us will ward off from you a hundred of the Fomorian warriors."

In Balor of Tory Island the great Fomorian chief, we have another giant, with an eye at the back of his head, which dealt destruction to all who encountered its gaze.

The Fomorians The Partholanians, it is said, had to do battle with a strange race, called the Fomorians, of whom we shall hear much in later sections of this book.

The few Nemedians who escaped alive after their great battle with the Fomorians, fled into the interior of the island.
