In Celtic mythology, Lir (also spelled Ler and Lear) was the god of the sea. He had four children by his first wife. After she died and he married again, the second wife, Aoife, envied the love of the children for their father and vice versa. She tried to get her servant to kill the children, but when she could not she turned them into swans. For the next 300 years, they inhabited the lake near their father's castle. In this 1905 illustration by the English artist J.H. Bacon, King Lir is shown by the lake listening to the swans. Aoife, meanwhile, was changed into an air demon for her actions.
