===Lugh joins the Tuatha Dé Danann=== As a young man Lugh travels to [[Tara, Ireland|Tara]] to join the court of King [[Nuada]] of the Tuatha Dé Danann. The doorkeeper will not let him in unless he has a skill he can use to serve the king. He offers his services as a wright, a smith, a champion, a swordsman, a harpist, a hero, a poet, a historian, a sorcerer, and a craftsman, but each time is rejected as the Tuatha Dé Danann already have someone with that skill. When Lugh asks if they have anyone with all those skills simultaneously, the doorkeeper has to admit defeat, and Lugh joins the court and is appointed [[Chief Ollam of Ireland]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://bardmythologies.com/lugh/|title=Lugh|website=bardmythologies.com|date=5 June 2014|access-date=2017-08-01|archive-date=1 August 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170801160341/http://bardmythologies.com/lugh/|url-status=live}}</ref> He wins a flagstone-throwing contest against [[Ogma]], the champion, and entertains the court with his [[harp]]. The Tuatha Dé Danann are, at that time, oppressed by the Fomorians, and Lugh is amazed at how meekly they accept their oppression. Nuada wonders if this young man could lead them to freedom. Lugh is given command over the Tuatha Dé Danann, and he begins making preparations for war.<ref name=cmt-ss053-083/>
