InIrish mythology,Bec (modern IrishBeag, meaning "small") was one of theTuatha Dé Danann. She was known for having amagicwell, that would grant wisdom with one drink and foretelling for a second.[1] The well was guarded by her three daughters. WhenFionn mac Cumhaill approached the well to ask for a drink, her daughters tried to prevent him from getting the water; "one of them threw water over him to scare him away and some of it went into his mouth. From the water he gained wisdom."[2]
