Creidhne

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In Irish mythology, Creidhne (or Credne) was a son of Brigid and Tuireann and the artificer of the Tuatha Dé Danann, working in bronze, brass and gold. He and his brothers Goibniu and Luchtaine were known as the Trí Dée Dána, the three gods of art, who forged the weapons which the Tuatha Dé used to battle the Fomorians.^{[citation needed]}

It is said that Creidhne fashioned King Nuada's silver hand.

Creidhne is often confused with the Irish warrior Creidne.
