In
Irish mythology Delbáeth or
Delbáed (modern spelling:
Dealbhaoth or
Dealbhaodh), possibly meaning "fire shape(d)", was the son of either
Aengus or
Ogma of the
Tuatha Dé Danann, and
Ethniu of the
Fomorians. He succeeded his grandfather Eochaid Ollathair, aka
the Dagda, as
High King of Ireland. He was the father, by
Ernmas, of the three eponymous Irish
goddesses Ériu,
Banba and
Fodla. He ruled for ten years, before dying at the hand of his son,
Fiacha.
