Eochaid AiremEochaid Airem ("ploughman") was a legendary High King of Ireland of the 2nd century BC. He succeeded his brother Eochaid Feidlech to the throne. He married tain, who had previously been the wife of Midir of the Tuatha D Danann. Midir demanded that he gave her back to him but Eochaid refused, but was then tricked by Midir, who turned himself and tain into swans and escaped from Eochaid's palace, located at Tara. When Eochaid insisted on the return of his wife, Midir brought fifty women with the appearance of tain and asked Eochaid to choose the correct one. The one Eochaid chose was his own daughter, known as tain g. Their daughter by (involuntary) incest, Mes Buachalla, was the mother of Conaire Mor.
