Tír na nÓg

In Irish mythology and folklore, Tír na nÓg ((:tʲiːɾˠ n̪ˠə ˈn̪ˠoːɡ); "Land of the Young") or Tír na hÓige ("Land of Youth") is one of the names for the Otherworld, or perhaps for a part of it. It is depicted as a supernatural realm of everlasting youth, beauty, health, abundance and joy.〔Koch, John T. ''Celtic Culture: A Historical Encyclopedia''. ABC-CLIO, 2006. pp.1671〕 Its inhabitants are the Tuath Dé, the gods of pre-Christian Ireland.〔 In the ''echtrae'' (adventure) and ''immram'' (voyage) tales, various Irish mythical heroes visit Tír na nÓg after a voyage or an invitation from one of its residents. They reach it by entering ancient burial mounds or caves, or by going under water or across the sea.〔
==Tradition==
Tír na nÓg is best known from the tale of Oisín and Niamh.〔T.A. Rolleston (1990). (Celtic Myths and Legends ) Courier Dover Publications.〕 In the tale, Oisín (a human hero) and Niamh (a woman of the Otherworld) fall in love. She brings him to Tír na nÓg on a magical horse that can travel over water. After spending what seems to be three years there, Oisín becomes homesick and wants to return to Ireland. Niamh reluctantly lets him return on the magical horse, but warns him never to touch the ground. When he returns, he finds that 300 years have passed in Ireland. Oisín falls from the horse. He instantly becomes elderly, as the years catch up with him, and he quickly dies of old age.〔Monaghan, Patricia. ''The Encyclopedia of Celtic Mythology and Folklore''. Infobase Publishing, 2004. pp.358, 368〕
Other Old Irish names for the Otherworld include Tír Tairngire ("Land of Promise/Promised Land"),〔〔James MacKillop (1998). (A dictionary of Celtic mythology ) Oxford University Press.〕 Tír fo Thuinn ("Land under the Wave"),〔 Mag Mell ("Plain of Delight/Delightful Plain"),〔 Ildathach ("Multicoloured place"),〔 and Emain Ablach.
