The only time this man ever cried was when his grandson died after being hit in the heart by a king’s spear. In one story, this man pretends to be a baby and eats a cake in order to scare away a giant who had just chipped a tooth on a cake filled with iron. Instead of healing a rival for one of his wives, this man kept letting water slip through his fingers. In order to resist the (*) sleep-inducing harp of a figure who would burn down the same city every year, this man held a spear against his forehead. This man was originally named Deimne but changed his name when his hair prematurely turned white.

For 10 points, name this father of Oisín, an Irish hero who led the Fianna. ■END■
