Danu (duwies Wyddelig)

Ym Mytholeg Wyddelig, mae Danu (Hen Wyddeleg, ynganiad: /'dɑnu/ gyda "u" byr; Gwyddeleg Diweddar Dana /'dɑnə/) yn fam dduwies y Tuatha Dé Danann (Hen Wyddeleg: "Pobl y dduwies Danu"). Mae hi'n cyfateb i'r dduwies Dôn yng Nghymru. Er y gwelir hi'n bennaf yn ffigwr hynafiadol, mae rhai ffynonellau o'r 19eg ganrif yn ei chysylltu â'r ddaear.^[1]

↑ Squire, Charles Celtic Myth and Legend, t. 34: "Danu herself probably represented the earth and its fruitfulness, and one might compare her with the Greek Demeter. All the other gods are, at least by title, her children."
