Elves and the Tuatha de Danaans - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Fascinating thread! Wish I had time to read all of it, but my sister needs the computer for homework now...so I'll post what I've got so far, anyway.

Also, Valinor is based on Tir-Nan-Og (I believe that's the correct spelling...not entirely sure though), the Land of Youth, which lies across the sea to the West.

And a little off topic I must add in the Wheel of Time there are a group of people called the Tuatha'an who do not commit any violence. Is there anything like that in the Tuatha de Danaans?

I noticed that myself, and wondered. I also noticed the connection (having recently read The DaVinci Code) between the WoT word sa'angreal and sangreal, or Holy Grail.

Hey Lyra, don't forget the Aes Sedai, sounds a bit like Aes Sidhe. Methinks that Robert Jordan may know his mythology.

Now that one I hadn't noticed, but thank you for pointing it out!
