Mananan
Son of the Irish sea-god Lir, magician and owner of strange possessions. His magical boat "Ocean-sweeper" steered by the wishes of its occupant; his horse Aonban, able to travel on sea or land; and his sword Fragarach, a match for any mail; were brought by Lugh from "The Land of the Living" (Fairyland). As lord of the sea he was the Irish Charon, and his colour-changing cloak would flap gaily as he marched with heavy tread round the camp of the hostile force invading Erin. He is comparable with the Cymric Manawiddan and resembles the Hellenic Proteus.
