Magog: From whom descended the Parthians, Bactrians, Amazons, etc.; Partholan, the first planter of Ireland, about three hundred years after the Flood; and also the rest of the colonies that planted there, viz., the Nemedians, who planted Ireland, Anno Mundi three thousand and forty-six, or three hundred and eighteen years after the birth of Abraham, and two thousand one hundred and fifty-three years before Christ. The Nemedians continued in Ireland for two hundred and seventeen years; within which time a colony of theirs went into the northern parts of Scotland, under the conduct of their leader Briottan Maol, from whom Britain takes its name, and not from "Brutus," as some persons believed. From Magog were also descended the Belgarian, Belgian, Firbolgian or Firvolgian colony tghat succeeded the Nemedians, Anno Mundi, three thousand two hundred and sixty-six, and who first erected Ireland into a Monarchy. [According to some writers, the Fomorians invaded Ireland next after the Nemedians.] This Belgarian of Firvolgian colony continued in Ireland for thirty-six years, under nine of their Kings; when they were supplanted by the Tuatha-de-Danans (which means, according to some authorities, "the people of the god Dan," whom they adored), who possessed Ireland for one hundred and ninety-seven years, during the reigns of nine of their kings; and who werwe then conquered by the Gaelic, Milesian, or Scotic Nation (the three names by which the Irish people were known), Anno Mundi three thousand five hundred. This Milesian or Scotic Irish Nation possessed and enjoyed the Kingdom of Ireland for two thousand eight hundred and eighty-five years, under one hundred and eighty-three Monarchs; until their submission to King Henry the Second of England, Anno Domini one thousand one hundred and eighty-six.

Magog, Hebrew , Greek [ ma'gog ] , is the second of the seven sons of Japheth mentioned in the Table of Nations in Genesis 10. It may represent Hebrew for "from Gog ", though this is far from certain.

Magog is often associated with apocalyptic traditions, mainly in connection with Ezekiel 38 and 39 which mentions "Gog of the land of Magog, prince of Rosh , Meshech and Tubal "; on the basis of this mention, "Gog and Magog " over time became associated with each other as a pair.

Josephus identified the offspring of Magog as the Scythians , a name used in antiquity for peoples north of the Black Sea .[1] According to him, the Greeks called Scythia Magogia (Ant., bk. I, 6).

Isidore of Seville , writing some centuries later, adds that he is also considered ancestor of the Goths </wiki/Goth>, but notes that this is "because of the similarity of the last syllable" (Etymologiae , IX, 89). Johannes Magnus (1488\endash 1544) stated that Magog's sons were Sven and Gethar, who became the ancestors of the Swedes and the Goths.[2] Queen Christina of Sweden reckoned herself as number 249 in a list of kings going back to Magog.

Daniel Juslenius (1676\endash 1752) derived the roots of the Finns from Magog, whose descendants he said migrated to Finland.

It has also been variously conjectured that Magog's offspring were the progenitors of the Slavic peoples known to history

According to several mediaeval Irish chronicles, most notably the Auraicept na n-Éces and Lebor Gabála Érenn , the Irish race are a composite including descendants of Japheth's son Magog from "Scythia". Baath (Boath), Jobhath, and Fathochta are the three sons of Magog. Partholón , Nemed , Iobath, and Fenius Farsa are among Magog's descendants. Magog was also supposed to have had a grandson called Heber , whose offspring spread throughout the Mediterranean.

There is also a mediaeval Hungarian legend that says the Huns , as well as the Magyars, are descended from twin brothers named Hunor and Magor respectively, who lived by the sea of Azov in the years after the flood, and took wives from the Alans . The version of this legend in the 14th century Chronicon Pictum equates this Magor with Magog, son of Japheth.
