The Wooing of ÉtaÃn is a mythological romance of Irish mythology, set after the time when the mortal Gaels conquered Ireland, and the immortal Tuatha Dé Danann retired into their subterranean palaces, becoming the Aes SÃdhe, the people of the fairy mounds.Midir of the Tuatha Dé Danann, Lord of Brà Léith, takes to wife ÉtaÃn, daughter of Ailill, regarded to be the most beautiful woman in Ireland. But his first wife Fuamnach does not approve of the marriage, and makes two attempts to separate them - first by turning ÉtaÃn into a fly, then by summoning a storm that blows her far away.Many tribulations later, the fly ends its odyssey in the drinking cup of a Gaelic woman, wife to Etar, a Lord of Ulster, and is accidentally swallowed. The lady gets pregnant and gives birth to ÉtaÃn, the daughter of Etar (or so everybody thinks). As ÉtaÃn II grows up, word is she is the most beautiful woman in Ireland. And so it is no wonder the young High King of Ireland, Eochaid, sues for her hand, which she graciously grants.But Midir has never stopped looking for ÉtaÃn, and eventually finds out what happened, recognizing his own wife in the queen of Ireland. But ÉtaÃn has forgotten her former life among the Aes SÃdhe and is scrupulous to leave her new husband, forcing Midir to resort to cunning and magic to wrest her from Eochaid.Online text. | |

Reincarnation Romance: Only one of the lovers is reborn. Midir seems to love her no less even though she does not remember him, and she's not too unwilling since he's a fairy and remains young and handsome for centuries. | |

Really 700 Years Old | |
| The Wooing of ÉtaÃn / int_5c5ac0e2 | comment |
Really 700 Years Old: ÉtaÃn was reborn 1002 years after her first birth and spent 14 years as a fly, so she must have been 988 years old when she was transformed. | |

Spontaneous Generation | |
| The Wooing of ÉtaÃn / int_7e7573a0 | comment |
Spontaneous Generation: After ÉtaÃn is reduced to a pool of water, the heat of the sun causes a maggot to be born from it (which later moults into a fly). | |

Bling of War | |
| The Wooing of ÉtaÃn / int_881b90be | comment |
Bling of War: Midir is positively dripped out when he embarks on his quest to rescue ÉtaÃn; wielding a golden five-pronged trident in one hand and a silver shield in the other, as well as a golden circlet and a huge golden brooch which is said to reach to both of his shoulders. | |

Your Size May Vary | |
| The Wooing of ÉtaÃn / int_8d25533e | comment |
Your Size May Vary: ÉtaÃn's fly form varies from "as large as a man's head" to small enough for someone to swallow without noticing, and is at one point described as wearing clothes. In some versions, they describe her as a butterfly. | |
