Cessair[1] or Cesair (Modern Irish: Ceasair, meaning 'sorrow, affliction') is a character from a medieval Irish origin myth, best known from the 11th-century chronicle text Lebor Gabála Érenn. According to the Lebor Gabála, she was the leader of the first inhabitants of Ireland, arriving before the Biblical flood.[2] The tale may have been an attempt to Christianize an earlier pagan myth.[2]
