In Celtic / Irish mythology, the Tuatha Dé Danann was an ancient race inhabiting Ireland before the arrival of the Milesians (the ancestors of the modern Irish), and was also known by the earlier name Tuath Dé (meaning “tribe of the gods"). They are thought to represent the main deities of pre-Christian Gaelic Ireland. They were said to have been skilled in magic, and the earliest reference to them says that, after they were banished from heaven because of their knowledge, they descended on Ireland in a cloud of mist. They were thought to have disappeared into the hills when overcome by the Milesians. In popular legend, they have become associated with the numerous fairies still supposed to inhabit Ireland as the People of the Mound.
