At the most basic level of folk fancy and belief, it is clear that an image which impresses itself on the mind of an individual or group of individuals has the potential to be given significance in the surrounding culture. In the same way, actual narratives owe much to the influence of striking images. Imagery plays an important and often basic role in the actual spread of folk narratives, most obviously in the case of the genre which we refer to as the migratory legend. Ireland has the oldest literature of Europe, apart from Greek and Latin, and so the researcher into Irish lore has sources at his disposal which range widely on the historical as well as the geographical plain. The article discusses the relationship between the brightness of the otherworld, which is so often met with in Irish sources, and the darkness of the nocturnal world of the dead. The duality in ancient Celtic belief concerning the worlds of the living and the dead gave rise to narratives concerning the divine personages Fionn (meaning `white') and Donn (meaning `black'). Well into the 20th century, stories were told in Irish folklore of great battles fought between two otherworld troops - the fairies of the southern province of Munster under the leadership of Donn Firinne, and the fairies of the western province of Connacht under the leadership of Fionnbharra. In more modern folklore, the two figures continue their periodic contests
