Samildánach

An alternante name for Lugh Lamhfada; it means a polymath, one who is skilled in many diverse arts. When Lugh came to Tara, he was told that he could only join the Tuatha de Dannan if he could perform a task that none could perform. It was found that though everyone else could perform one task, he could perform all tasks, and so this unique ability to do all allowed him acceptance.
