MILESIANS

Meaning of MILESIANS in English

[Celtic] Properly, the inhabitants of Miletus; but the name has been given to the ancient Irish because of the legend that two sons of Milesius, a fabulous king of Spain, conquered the country, and repeopled it after exterminating the aborigines (the Firbolgs).
