In
Irish mythology,
Flidas or
Flidais (modern spelling:
Fliodhas,
Fliodhais) is a female member of the
Tuatha Dé Danann, known by the epithet
Foltchaín ("beautiful hair"). She is believed to have been a goddess of animals, woodlands and fertility, somewhat akin to the Greek
Artemis and Roman
Diana. "As goddess of wild beasts [...] she rode in a chariot drawn by deer" while "as goddess of the domestic herds" she had a magical cow of plenty.
