==Analysis==
[[Dáithí Ó hÓgáin]] writes that Nemed himself "is probably drawn from genuine tradition" and that his name (and his wife's name) suggests "he originally belonged to the context of the divine pantheon known as the [[Tuatha Dé Danann]]".<ref name="ohogain"/>  He notes that the clash between the Nemedians and Fomorians echoes the primordial clash between the Tuath Dé and Fomorians, commenting that "the medieval scholars were more concerned with devising a chronological pseudo-history than with avoiding duplication".<ref name="ohogain"/>

In one version of the ''Lebor Gabála'', the Nemedians are drowned while trying to take a golden tower at sea, while in the ''Historia Brittonum'' it is the [[Milesians (Irish)|Milesians]] who attack a glass tower at sea.<ref>[[John Carey (Celticist)|Carey, John]].
