AENGUS, god of youth, love and poetry, found 150 girls chained in pairs at the lake of the Dragon's Mouth. Among them was his lover, Caer Ibormeith. She and the other girls were turned into swans every second October31/November 1 (Samhain). Aengus was told he could marry Caer if he could identify her as a swan. He did so, and changed himself into a swan. The pair flew away, singing a song so seductive its listeners fell asleep for three days and nights
