For so many years there have been countless legends of the Milesians, and an aristocratic Scythian clan settling and conquering Ireland. The facts are that the accounts of the creation, of the Milesians legends coincide mainly with that of the Goths, yet the Goths were a heterogeneous East Germanic tribe, and not a Celtic one, the Goths are believed to have originated in Scandza. The so called experts of Irish myths do not explain that the Goths were first refered to as Scythians when they did reached the Black Sea, nor will you hear or read any explanations of the mentions of the Goths in the Irish myths of the Milesians. Ancient accounts explain that the Goths entered Scythia, under King Filimer, and there they defeated the Spali. King Filimer found the land which the called Aujum (Oium), from there he later lead another second migration to Thrace.
Myth: Fenius Farsa, as the first king of Scythia, and his descendants were called the Feni. Fenius Farsa's son Niul is said to be the first to have settled in Egypt.
Myths: King Sru leads the Gaeidhil from Egypt to Creta, and Eber Scot is believed to have led the wondering Gaeidhil, or Gayil from the island of Creta, modern day Crete, to Scythia.
History: The was a massive invasion of Scythian tribes into Crete during 267 A.D. and 269 A.D. these sea born invasions were led by the Goths mainly the Greuthungi and Tervingi , the Gepids and Peucini led by the Heruli, a East Germanic Tribe from Scandinavia. Another thing taken to account is that the Goths raided Athens in 268 A.D., and in 370 A.D. King Ermanarcih rules the Greuthungian Goths from the Baltic to the Black Sea.
Myth: Lamh Finn led the Clanna Gaedil from their homeland of Scythia to Gaethluighe.
Bratha, the leader of the Clanna Gaedhail, Gayil, or Gaels, leads immigration from Gothinia, a island in the Baltic, into Spain. His son Breoghan, later becomes the king of Spain.

Milesius sails to Egypt were he marries Scota , the daughter of the Egyptian Pharaoh Nectonebo II of Egypt, who ruled from 360 - 343 b.c. Milesius then sails from Egypt to the island of Irene, off the coast of Thracia, were Scota gives birth to Ir, the third son of Milesius.

Theodoric Strabo, son of Triarius, and Chieftain of the Thracian Goths, of the Amalings Royal family. He had a wife named Sigilda, and a son named Recitach. The Amalings according to the Gothic legends were the decendants of the ancient hero Amala “The Mighty".

History: Only one island which divides the Baltic Sea and Artic sea, this being the island Gotland, Sweden.
Myth: King Breogah of Spain, and the Brigantes.
Fact: The Brigantes tribe (s) name are found in Austria, England, Spain , Portugal and Ireland.
Brigid or Brigantu means the “The Exalted one” or “The High One”, and ancient Goddess worshipped by the Celts. The Brigantes in England occupied the areas which are modernly known, as York, Cleveland, Durham and Lancansghire. Their civitates power strecthed from the North Sea to the Irish Sea. The Brigantes described by Ptlomey that occupied what is modern day southern Wexford , Ireland. The Campus Brigantium, meaning ' The plain of the Brigantes’, once occupied by the Clanna Breogian. We find the city of Bregenz located in modern day Austria on the shores of Lake Constance, the Brigantii tribes in the Eastern Alps, the Brigantes of Gallaecia, modern day Galicia, Spain, and Braganza a city located in the North Eastern region of Portugal.
Are all these Brigante tribes related to one another? Not very likely and this is possibly due to the name of the goddess Brigid being spread from region to region. They can be found to be related with archeology and the y-dna testing of ancient remains, or living y-dna tested members of these areas.
None of the Milesian legends can be taken seriously, yet there are those who still believe this, and others who still keep up the myths alive as facts. If people only took their time, and were a little more truthful with themselves then they would search, for the truth and facts and stop wasting their time and money. One thing I learned is that there are too many people out there with misleading information, creating their own special myths, and gaining money in return.
