The Morrígan is a figure from Irish mythology. The name is Mór-Ríoghain in Modern Irish, translated as "great queen" or "phantom queen".
She is mainly associated with war and fate, especially with foretelling doom, death or victory in battle. In this role she often appears as a crow. The Morrígan encourages warriors to do brave deeds, strikes fear into their enemies, and is portrayed washing the bloodstained clothes of those fated to die. She is most frequently seen as a goddess of battle and war and has also been seen as a manifestation of the earth- and sovereignty-goddess, chiefly representing the goddess's role as guardian of the territory and its people.

Antoine Laurent Lavoisier(1743-1794) was a French chemist, philosopher and economist, widely considered the "father of modern chemistry" in popular literature. He introduced the scientific method to the field of chemistry.

Lavoisier is most noted for his discovery of the role oxygen plays in combustion. He recognized and named oxygen (1778) and hydrogen (1783), and opposed the phlogiston theory. He helped construct the metric system, wrote the first extensive list of elements, and helped to reform chemical nomenclature. He predicted the existence of silicon (1787) and was also the first to establish that sulfur was an element (1777) rather than a compound. He discovered that, although matter may change its form or shape, its mass always remains the same.

At the height of the French Revolution, he was charged with tax fraud and selling adulterated tobacco, and was guillotined.
