           'Myth is what we call other people's religion.' 
                                                   --Joseph Campbell 
            
            
                   The following concordance isbased on 'Gods and FightingMen' by
           Lady Augusta Gregory, first published in 1904.  Page number references
           are to the  1976 trade  paperback edition published  by the  MacMillan
           Company of Canada Limited.  Brief supplementary material is taken from
           'Dictionary of Irish Myth  and Legend' by Ronan Coghlan,  published in
           1979 by Donard  Publishing Comapany,  and referenced as  'DIM' in  the
           following text. 
            
                   As this is intendedto be a concordanceof the Irishmythological
           cycle only (as opposed to heroic, legendary, or historical  material),
           references  are limited  to Part  I, Books  I -  V, of  Lady Gregory's
           volume.   'Gods and Fighting Men' was selected as the primary text for
           this  concordance  because   it  represents  the  most   comprehensive
           synthesis of variant sources (both published and oral)  ever attempted
           as a continuous narrative of Irish  mythology.  Lady Gregory lists her
           published sources as follows: 
            O'Curry, 'Manners and Customs of the Ancient Irish' 
                    'MSS. Materials'

           it.  When  the Dagda called to it, it sprang  toward him, killing nine
           men of  the Fomor  on its  way.   The Dagda  then played the  sleeping
           strain  and as the Fomor slept, he  restored to Ireland all the cattle
           that the Fomor had taken in tribute. (67)

           spoke with her (72).

           Magh Tuireadh (66) 
            
           Urias - styled  'of the noble  nature', one of  the four wise men  and
