Glas Gaibhnenn
Glas Gaibhnenn (Glas Gaivlen;〔 alternate spelling: Gloss Gavlen:〔(collected tale)〕 pronunciation guide:/glas-gav-e-lan/;) is a prized fabulous cow of bounty (fertility) that yields profuse quantities of milk, and which belonged to semi-mythological characters in Irish oral folktales.
The bovine creature has been described variously as a cow which is "white with green spots" (Mackillop),〔, Dict. Celt. Myth., "Glas Ghaibhleann.. Celebrated magical cow, white with green spots, whose inexahustible supply of milk signalled prosperity"〕 or "Goibniu's Grey or Brindled (Cow)" (Rhys).
Power listed Glas Gamhain and Bó Bhán "white cow" (associated with Boann) as among names of mythological creatures after which landscape features or bodies of water were often named, while Patricia Monaghan wrote of Glas Ghaibhleann as a goddess often associated with rivers, and that rivers were often seen as embodiments of the goddess Boann.
==Overview==
The folk-tale plot has been made familiar through retellings of Irish mythology, notably by Lady Gregory,〔 but also others where we learn that Cian mounts on a quest to recover the magic cow, has a romantic encounter with Balor's daughter, fathering the child who is to become Lugh. The folktale was stitched together using additional bona fide medieval mythological writings to form a seamless retelling. Two rather different oral versions of the folktale were pieced into one composite for this purpose.
