In Celtic mythology , Ecne (Wisdom, Old Irish ecna, ecne , wise, enlightened) was one of the Tuatha Dé Danann and was the god of wisdom, or knowledge.[1]
Ecne had three fathers, Brian , Iuchar , and Iucharba , who were all sons of Brigid and Tuireann , also known as Delbáeth .[2] tri dee Donand , meaning the three gods of Danu , which can also be read as the three gods of dán , or knowledge. Related attributes are personified as their descendants, and Wisdom is the son of all three.[1]
For Ecne to be the son of three brothers also recalls the early Celtic practice of fraternal polyandry .[1]
Ecne's three fathers killed Cian , the father of Lugh ,[2] The Fate of the Children of Tuireann .[3]
In Irish Druids and Old Irish Religions , James Bonwick reports Ecne as female and as the goddess of poetry .[4]
