  Phoeniusa (or Fenius) Farsaidh, the inventor of Letters - the Antiquary of Scythia, King of Scythia, Father of the Phoenicians Irish Pedigrees or the Origin and Stem of the Irish Nation by John O'Hart - Phoeniusa Farsaidh (or Fenius Farsa) was King of Scythia, at the time when Ninus ruled the Assyrian Empire; and being a wise man and desirous to learn the languages that not long before confounded the builders of the Tower of Babel, employed able and learned men to go among the dispersed multitude to learn their several languages; who sometime after returning well skilled in what they went for, Phoeniusa Farsaidh erected a school in the valley of Senaar near the city of Aeothena in the forty-second year of the reign of Ninus; whereupon having continued there with his younger son Niul for twenty years, he returned home to his kingdom, which, at his death, he left to the oldest son Nenuall; leaving to Niul no other patrimony than his learning and the benefit of the said school. ------------------------------------ 1700 BC (Continued from) Phoenius (or Fenius) Farsaidh, his grandson, was King of Scythia at the same time that Ninus ruled the Assyrian Empire. Being a wise man, and desirous to learn the languages that not long before had confounded the builders of the Tower of Babel, he employed able and learned men to go among the dispersed multitude to acquire their several tongues; who, sometime after, returning well-skilled in what they went for, the King erected a school in the valley of Senaar, near the city of Aeothena, in the forty-second year of the reign of Ninus, the founder of Nineveh, and the Assyrian Empire, whose widow and queen, Semiramis, built the great city of Babylon, with its hanging gardens. Having continued there, with his younger son, Niul, for twenty years, he returned home to his kingdom, which, at his death, he left to his eldest son, Nenuall, giving to Niul no other patrimony than his learning and the benefit of said school. The Phoenicians who founded the city of Carthage in Africa, also Cadiz and Cordova in Spain, were his descendants. We have heard much, in our days, of the Fenians of Ireland. They were the descendants of this Phoenius (or Fenius) Farsaidh, and were so named after him. It is but another form of the word "Phoenicians." The Fenian warriors were a famous military force, forming the standing national militia for the protection of the monarchy, instituted in Ireland long before the Christian era, and brought to the greatest perfection in the reign of Cormac Mac Art, monarch of Ireland in the third century. Into this military organization none were admitted but select men of the greatest activity, strength, stature, perfect form and valor. When the force was complete, it consisted of seven catha, that is battalions or legions, each containing three thousand men, making twenty-one thousand for each of the five provinces, or a total of some one hundred thousand for theentire kingdom in time of war. They were entirely and completely disciplined, each battalion having its own band of musicians and bards to animate them in battle and celebrate their feats of arms. In time the Fenians revolted, many conflicts ensued, terminating in the terrible battle of Gaura, in the county of Meath. As a result of this, the Irish monarchy tottered towards its fall. The Irish Kings were never able to muster, thereafter, a national army equal in valor and discipline to those heroes, either to cope with foreign foes or to reduce to subjection rebellious provincial kings and princes, nor to make a stand against the Danish and Anglo-Norman invaders of after times. Of course it is understood that the so-called Fenians of these years have merely assumed the name of those valiant men of the past. After Fenius had returned to Scythia, his son Niul continued some time at Aeothena, teaching the languages and other laudable sciences. (Continued in "Niul of the Languages.")
