Consort of the goddess Danu. Bilé (Bile) was the god of death. Bilé married Danu and became the father of Dagda, the chief leader of the Tuatha Dé Danann.
Some say that he was the ancestor of Mils, the ancestors of the modern Gaelic Irish.
Bilé was the Irish equivalent of Belenus, the ancient Celtic pagan god who was widely worshipped in Continental Europe and in Britain. The Welsh called him Beli, the husband of Don (Danu).
