Editing Midir (section)

==Description==

In Tochmarc Étaíne, Midir appears on a brown steed wearing a green mantle and red embroidered tunic with a golden brooch reaching from shoulder to shoulder, a silver shield with a rim of gold on his back with a silver strip and gold boss. He has bright yellow hair, a five pronged spear, and a fillet of gold on his head. When Midir appears suddenly in the midst of Eochaid Airem's court, the remark is made, “He was fair at all times, but on that night he was fairer.”<ref name=Lecan>[https://www.maryjones.us/ctexts/etain.html ''The Yellow Book of Lecan'' “The Wooing of Etain”]</ref>

Elsewhere in Tochmarc Étaíne, the following description of Midir is provided:
<blockquote>A purple tunic about him, and golden yellow hair on him to the edge of his shoulders. A shining blue eye in his head. A five-pointed spear in one hand, a white-bossed shield in the other, with golden gems thereon. Eochaid was silent, for he was unaware of his being in Tara the night before, and the courts had not been opened at that hour.<ref name=Lecan /></blockquote>
