Ímair

Ímair was a figure in Irish mythology, primarily known from the tale "Serglige Con Culainn" (The Sick-Bed of Cú Chulainn). He was the son of the Dagda, a prominent figure in the Tuatha Dé Danann pantheon, and thus a half-brother to figures like Aengus Óg. Ímair is described as a skilled warrior and a companion of Cú Chulainn, the hero of Ulster.

In the narrative, Ímair plays a role in the events surrounding Cú Chulainn's strange illness. He is among those who accompany Cú Chulainn to the Otherworld, a journey undertaken to cure his ailment. Ímair's presence highlights the connections between the mortal heroes and the supernatural realm of the Tuatha Dé Danann. While not as central a character as Cú Chulainn, his participation underscores the interconnectedness of the mythological world and the importance of familial ties within the divine lineage. His brief appearance serves to flesh out the context of Cú Chulainn's adventures and the broader mythological landscape of ancient Ireland.
