In Irish traditional history
Eógan (or
Eoghan Mór—a name also used by his grandfather,
Mug Nuadat), eldest son of
Ailill Ollamh, was a 2nd or 3rd century AD king of
Munster. He is credited with founding or at least giving his name to the
Eóganachta, a dynasty which ruled as kings of Munster and later princes of
Desmond until the late 16th century. The son of Éogan Mór was
Fiachu Muillethan.
