Lugh was fated to be killed by his grandfather but was incidentally thrown into the ocean, where in some accounts a [[Leanan Sidhe]] familiar of his father saved him. He was then raised by [[Wikipedia:Manannán_mac_Lir|Manannán]]. He joins the [[Wikipedia:Tuatha_Dé_Danann|Tuatha Dé Danann]] and after many battles, he eventually slays Balor using a sling-stone that pierces through his eye. | ||
