In Irish mythology, Tethra of the Fomorians ruled Mag Mell after dying in the Second Battle of Mag Tuiredh.[1] After the battle, his sword, Orna, was taken by Ogma and it then recounted everything it had done.[2]
Tethra may be derived from the Proto-Indo-European *tet(e)ro- meaning 'quacking sound'.[3] Tethra means both sea and scald-crow Badb or Roynston's crow in Old Irish.[4]
"Tethra" is the name of an armor set for the Highlander in For Honor.
"Tethra" is the name of an Italian Melancholic Doom Death Metal born in 2008 and still active.
Ogives Big Band released a song called 'Tethra' on their EP 'HARM' in October 2019 with an accompanying music video.
A woeful seat where Connla sits! Among short-lived mortals, Awaiting only dreadful death. The living, the immortal call to you; They summon you to the people of Tethra
Now in that battle, Ogma the champion found Orna, the sword of Tethra, king of the Fomoire. Ogma unsheathed the sword and cleaned it. Then the sword told what had been done by it, because it was the habit of swords at the time to recount the deeds that had been done by them whenever they were unsheathed.
