Ogma

OG-mah

God of eloquence and champion of the Tuatha Dé Danann, traditionally credited with inventing the Ogham alphabet.

Ogma ("sun-faced," by one reading of his name) is the Tuatha Dé Danann's god of eloquence and physical strength, often described as a brother of the Dagda. Medieval Irish tradition credits him with inventing Ogham, the earliest known Irish writing system, carved in strokes along the edges of standing stones.

He fights at the Second Battle of Moytura alongside Lugh and the Dagda, and in some accounts is given the task of dividing the spoils after the Tuatha Dé Danann's victory over the Fomorians — a role fitting a god whose power lies in words and judgment as much as the sword.
