EOCHU
MAC EIRC was the horseman son of Erc the speckled. slew Foidbgen in Mag
Muirtheimne and then ruled the Fir Bolg for ten years. His wife was
Tailltiu daughter of Mag Mór the king of Spain. He was the first king of
the Fir Bolg who sat in the beginning in Temair and in his time the
Mound of the Three Men was erected upon Temair, and the Stone Heap of
the One Man. There was no wetting in his time, save only dew: there was
no year without harvest. Falsehoods were expelled from Ireland in his
time. By him was executed the law of justice in Ireland for the first
time.
The Fir Bolg gave the Túatha Dé Danann battle upon Mag
Tuired; they were a long time fighting that battle. At last it broke
against the Fir Bolg, and the slaughter pressed northward, and a hundred
thousand of them were slain westward to the strand of Eochaill. There
was King Eochu overtaken and he fell at the hands of the three sons of
Nemed (Cesard, Luach [Luam] and Luchra). This
is the reason why the rout went to the Strand of Eothal. Thirst seized
Eochaid son of Erc in the battle, and he found no water till he reached
the Strand of Eothail. Everyone followed the king out of the battle. And
out of the battle did the three sons of Nemed follow him, Luan, Cesarb,
and Luachra, and they slew him, and buried the king in the stone-heap
of the Strand of Eothail. That is the correct version.
He was
the first man who died of a spear-point in Ireland. The violent
contradiction of these king-killings by the statement that Eochu mac
Eirc was the first monarch to receive a mortal wound in Ireland is
enough to show that what we are told about him came from a quite
different document, which knew nothing of the Fir Bolg kings and their
fates, and which in all probability had originally nothing whatever to
do with the Fir Bolg. Belochus of the Assyrians was in the high kingship
at the time of the fighting of the battle of Mag Tuired of Cong. Eochu
mac Eirc was in the kingship at the time that Cambyses son of Cyrus was
slain by his own magicians.
