#MythologyMonday #Celtic: `The term by which Bres is described is gormac which means „a dutiful son“, 'an adopted son' (adopted for the support of the adopter), or 'a sister's son`.
When Nuadu was no longer suitable to be their king, their wives said it would be better to give the kingship to their adopted son Bres, or Eochaid Bres, son of Elatha. Bres‘s father, Elatha son of Delbaeth, was a king of the Fomoire, and his mother Ériu daughter of Delbaeth, belonged to the Tuatha Dé Danann.`
