Irish deity of smithing and hospitality.
1And as to Goibniu, he went into the well and was healed.
2Then he asked Goibniu the Smith what would he be able to do.
3May be another name for Goibniu and Govannon.
4Cian was a lord of land, and Goibniu was the smith that had such a great name.
5So he went back again to the forge, and he asked Goibniu would he give him a spear-head.
6And after the spear being given to Ruadan, he turned and threw it at Goibniu, that it wounded him.
7And it was while Goibniu was making spear-heads for the battle of Magh Tuireadh, a charge was brought against his wife.
8And when they heard his story it is what they thought, that Goibniu the Smith was the man that hindered them most.
9For with three strokes of his hammer Goibniu would be fashioning a spear-head, and after the third stroke there could be no bettering it.
