This groundbreaking exploration reveals Clíodhna's mythology with unprecedented clarity: her three magical birds whose songs both heal and induce prophetic sleep; her passionate affair with Ciabhán that ended when Tonn Chlíodhna swept her back to the Otherworld; and her remarkable evolution from territorial deity to death messenger.
