ÉDAÍN

Our band's name is Édaín, the name of an Irish goddes. She had been the goddes of the royal prerogative for hundreds of years, so she had symbolized Ireland. The currant king had to search for her (it wasn't difficult for she was the most beautiful creature in Ireland), and then marry her in Tara with great pageantry. He became the legalitimate king of Ireland only after this ceremony. There are a lot of stories about Édaín, but we like one of these especially. This story is about the vicissitudinous love of Édaín and King Midhir. In a period of their common life Édaín gave evidence of her peerless musicality. After her enemy had changed her into a purple fly by magic, she didn' t leave her love, but she gave food and drink to Midhir with the music of her buzzing. They had to go through a great deal before they could live together again...
