(1892–1969). These were not published until 1973. These two volumes now constitute the complete Beroul and Thomas texts in modern Cornish.

Tuan Mac Cairell

[I] His story typifies the Celtic belief in reincarnation. Son of Starn, brother of Partholón, he survives the plague that destroys his people by being reborn as a stag, then as an eagle, then as a salmon that is caught and eaten by the wife of Cairell. She then gives birth to him in human form, again with his memory of the whole history of Ireland from the coming of Partholón. This is strikingly similar to the birth of Taliesin.

Tuatha

[I] A people, tribe, or nation. See Teutates.

Tuatha Cruithne

See Picts.

Tuatha Dé Danaan

[I] The people of the goddess Dana. The gods of pre-Christian Ireland who inhabited the land before the coming of the Milesians. The Milesians drive them underground. When Christian monks started to write down the sagas, they were demoted into heroes and heroines, although much remained to demonstrate their godlike abilities. Under their leader Nuada, they came to Ireland from a northern country where they had four fabulous cities, Falias, Gorias, Finias, and Murias. They defeated the Firbolg and then overcame the Fomorii. They are represented as the gods of light and goodness, while the Fomorii are the more sinister gods of darkness. They are totally human in all the virtues as well as the vices.

Tuireann

[I] There are males and females who bear this name in Irish myth. Tuireanns appear as the sister, sister-in-law, and aunt of Fionn Mac Cumhail. A male Tuireann had three sons by the goddess Brigid.

Tuireann, Children of

[I] The sons of Tuireann and the goddess Brigid were Brían, Iuchar, and Iucharba, who slew Cian, father of Lugh Lámhfada. As recompense to Lugh they were forced to set out on a journey to secure various items. The saga of their travels and adventures is said to be the Irish equivalent of the voyage of Jason and his quest for the Golden Fleece.

Twrch Trwyd

[W] See Twrch Trwyth.

Twrch Trwyth

[W] In the story of Culhwch and Olwen, Twrch Trwyth (or Trwyd) is a king turned into a boar. Arthur features as hunting the boar with some of his notable warriors, including
