After the Second Battle of Mag Tuired the world was divided into two parts: the first one, being under the hills, the síd, was given to the Túatha Dé Danann, the second one, the world of living beings, was given to the Milesians, the conquerors. The next division took place when Ireland was divided between the first two milesian kings, namely between Éremón and Éber. One can find other instances of dualistic mythology in the well known book ‘Celtic Heritage' by the brothers Rees, esp. the chapter "Darkness and Light”, for instance the twofold division of the calendar of Coligny and a similar division of the traditional Irish year. This evidence may suggest that we might search for linguistic traces of this dualism. © Max Niemeyer Verlag GmbH, Tübingen 2003 Zeitschrift für celtische Philologie Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co.
