Fomorian Warrior
Goll mac Domnaill’s name means “one-eyed son of Domnaill.” The one-eyed characteristic places him in the same symbolic register as Balor — the Fomorian king whose single terrible eye was the most feared weapon in Irish myth. Goll mac Domnaill is a minor warrior figure, but the one eye connects him to something much larger: the Fomorian tradition of dangerous, focused, destructive vision. Balor is the extreme end of that tradition. Goll mac Domnaill sits somewhere further back along the same line.
He appears in the Fomorian battle-lists and warrior-rosters, one of the named fighters in the Fomorian force at the Second Battle of Mag Tuired.
