Gaodhal (or Gathelus), the son of Niul, and ancestor of Clan-na-Gael, that is, "the children or descendants of Gaodhal". In his youth this Gaodhal was stung in the neck by a serpent, and was immediately brought to Moses, who, laying his rod upon the wounded place, instantly cured him; whence followed the word "Glas" to be added to his named, as Gaodhal Glas (glas: Irish, green; Lat. glaucus; Gr. glaukos), on account of the green scar which the word signifies, and which, during his life, remained on his neck after the wound was healed. And Gaodhal obtained a further blessing, namely\emdash that no venemous beast can liv3e any time where his posterity should inhabit; which is verified in Creta or Candia, Gothia or Getulia, Ireland, etc. The Irish chroniclers arrifm that from this tiem Gaodhal and his posterity did paint the figures of Beasts, Birds, etc., on their banners and shields, to distinguish their tribes and septs, in imitation of the Israelites; and that a "Thunderbolt" was the cognizance in their chief standard for many generations after this Gaodhal.

Stem of the Irish nation
«/b»In his «i»Irish Pedigrees«/i», O'Hart presents the legendary origins of the Irish people, from the Biblical Adam and Eve through the kings of ancient «u»Ireland «/u». Irish tradition holds that every Irish person is descended from the king «u»Milesius «/u» who migrated from «u»Spain «/u» in 500 BC, so O'Hart started each of his genealogies with «u»Adam «/u» recording Milesius as his 36th descendant.
From (1) «u»Adam «/u», his son (2) «u»Seth «/u», his son (3) «u»Enos «/u», his son (4) «u»Cainan «/u», his son (5) «u»Mahalaleel «/u», his son (6) «u»Jared «/u», his son (7) «u»Enoch «/u», his son (8) «u»Methuselah «/u», his son (9) «u»Lamech «/u», his son (10) «u»Noah «/u», his son (11) «u»Japhet «/u», his son (12) «u»Magog «/u», his son (13) «u»Baoth «/u» "to whom «u»Scythia «/u» came has his lot," his son (14) «u»Phoeniusa Farsaidh «/u» («u»Fenius Farsa «/u») King of Scythia, his son (15) «u»Gaodhal «/u» (Gathelus), his son (16) «u»Asruth «/u», his son (17) «u»Sruth «/u» (who fled «u»Egypt «/u» to «u»Creta «/u»), his son (18) «u»Heber Scut «/u» (returned to Scythia), his son (19) «u»Beouman «/u», King of Scythia, his son (20) «u»Ogaman «/u» King of Scythia, his son (21) «u»Tait «/u» King of Scythia, his son (22) «u»Agnon «/u» (who fled Scythia by sea with the majority of his people), his son (23) «u»Lamhfionn «/u» (who led his people to «u»Gothia «/u» or «u»Getulia «/u», where «u»Carthage «/u» was afterwards built), his son (24) «u»Heber Glunfionn «/u»King of Gothia, his son (25) «u»Agnan Fionn «/u» King of Gothia, his son (26) «u»Febric Glas «/u» King of Gothia, his son (27) «u»Nenuall «/u» King of Gothia, his son (28) «u»Nuadhad «/u» King of Gothia, his son (29) «u»Alladh «/u» King of Gothia, his son (30) «u»Arcadh «/u» King of Gothia, his son (31) «u»Deag «/u» King of Gothia, his son (32) «u»Brath «/u» King of Gothia (who left Gothia with a large band of his people and settled in «u»Galicia «/u», «u»Spain «/u»), his son (33) «u»Breoghan «/u» King of Galicia, «u»Andalusia «/u», «u»Murcia «/u», «u»Castile «/u», and «u»Portugal «/u», his son (34) «u»Bile «/u» King of Galicia, Andalusia, Murcia, Castile, and Portugal, and his son (35) «u»Galamh «/u» (also known as «u»Milesius «/u» of Spain) King of Galicia, Andalusia, Murcia, Castile, and Portugal.
According to O'Hart's account, «u»Milesius «/u» had four sons, Heber, Ir, Heremon, and Amergin, who were involved, along with their uncle Ithe, in the invasion of ancient «u»Ireland «/u»; «u»Milesius «/u», himself, had died during the planning. Because Amergin died during the invasion, he died without issue. It is from the four other invaders--«u»Heber «/u», «u»Ir «/u», «u»Heremon «/u», and «u»Ithe «/u»--that the Irish are alleged to descend. These. according to O'Hart, are the four lines from which all true Irish descend.
