Nemed (modern spellings: Nemedh, Nemhidh or Neimhidh), meaning "holy" or "privileged" is a figure of Irish mythology who features in The Book of Invasions. He was the leader of the third group of inhabitants of Ireland, the Nemedians.
Nemed was the son of Agnoman of Scythia, Agnoman being the son of Piamp, son of Tait, son of Sera, son of Sru, son of Easru, son of Friamaint, son of Fathochta, son of Magog.
Ireland had been empty for thirty years after the death of the last of Partholon's followers when Nemed sailed to Ireland with his four sons and chieftains, Starn, Iarbonel the Soothsayer, Annind, and Fergus Red-Side. He had started from the Caspian Sea with a fleet of 44 ships, taking a year and a half. In the end, only his ship reached Ireland. His wife, Macha, died twelve days after they arrived, and was buried at Ard Macha (Armagh).
They arrived in 2350 BC according to the chronology of the Annals of the Four Masters, 1731 BC according to Seathrún Céitinn's chronology.
Nemed won the battle of Ros Fraechain against Gann and Sengann, two kings of the Fomorians, who were both killed. He won three more battles against the Fomorians, at Badbgna in Connacht, Cnamros in Leinster (in which Artur, Nemed's first son born in Ireland, died), and Murbolg in Dal Riada (where his son Starn was killed by the Fomorian Conand).
Fuori nel mondo chiss dove
o su nel cielo fra gli eterni eroi,
ma nel fondo di un profondo eterno
vive un uomo, vive il suo inferno.
La sua bocca pi non parla,
le sue notti non le dorme pi
sta nascosto dentro il su pensiero,
muore un uomo, muore senza il vero.
il pilota di Hiroshima,
un duro alla maniera di John Wayne
Ray Ban scuri, il lavoro era guerra,
ma negli occhi
quel bimbo sulla terra.
Fuori nel mondo chiss dove
nel riflesso del cielo nello stagno,
striscia ancora la scia di vapore
del suo aereo e di quelle ore.
Il pilota di Hiroshima
un duro alla maniera di John Wayne,
Rai Ban scuri, il lavoro era guerra,
ma negli occhi
quel bimbo sulla terra.
Sente battere le ali,
sente il freddo tutto intorno a s,
vede luci di luce pi abbagliante,
di quel sole esploso in un istante.
