The Dagda's harp in Celtic mythology
In Irish mythology, Uaithne (Old Irish: Úaithne, pronounced [ˈuənʲə]) is Dagda's harp, or rather the Dagda's harper, according to a number of modern translators (cf. § Attestations).[3]
- ^ eDIL s.v. "7 úaithne"
- ^ eDIL s.v. "1 cruitt". "harper", example from Fraech: "Úaithne c.¤ in Dagdai"
- ^ The eDIL under Úaithne(7) gives "The name of the Dagda's harp" (based on TBFr.),[1] but this conflicts with its etnry under cruitt "harper" (citing Fraech).[2]
