Insítear i miotas na meánaoise gurbh é [[Parthalán]] agus a mhuintir an chead dream a tháinig fo hÉirinn, ach go raibh n Fomhóraigh ann chéanna féin. De réir [[Seathrún Céitinn|Seathrúin Chéitinne]], tháinig siad dhá chéad bhliain roimhe sin, agus ''[[Cichol Gricenchos]]'' ina cheannaire, ''agus livedmhair onar fishiasc andagus fowléineoil untilgo Partholondtí cameteacht Pharthaláin, bringingag tabhairt an the [[céachta|chéachta]] agus [[damh|daimh]].

''Next, the Tuatha Dé Danann, who are usually supposed to have been the [[deity|gods]] of the Goidelic Irish, defeated the Fir Bolg in the first [[Cath Maighe Tuireadh]] and took possession of Ireland. Because their king, [[Nuada]] Airgeadlámh]], had lost an arm in the battle and was no longer physically whole, their first king in Ireland was the half-Fomhórach [[Bres]]. He was the result of a union between [[Ériu]] of the Tuatha Dé Danann and the Fomhóraigh prince [[Elatha]], who had come to her one night by sea on a silver boat. Both Elatha and Bres are described as very beautiful. However Bres turned out to be a bad king who forced the Tuatha Dé to work as slaves and pay tribute to the Fomhóraigh. He lost authority when he was satirised for neglecting his kingly duties of hospitality. Nuada was restored to the kingship after his arm was replaced with a working one of silver, but the Tuatha Dé's oppression by the Fomhóraigh continued.
