Cessair

Cessair
   In Celtic myth the daughter of Bith and Birren, who escaped with her husband Fintan in a ship to Inisfail (Ireland) at the time of the Deluge. The story, which is detailed in Celtic Creation Legends, shows traces of the matriarchy, the worship of strange gods inspired by the approach of disaster, and details of what appears to be a lunar catastrophe. Cesara, who was also known as Cessair, was pre-Celtic.
