Elim Olfínechta

Elim Olfínechta, son of Rothechtaid Rotha, was, according to medieval Irish legend and historical tradition, a High King of Ireland.

Snow that tasted of wine (Old Irish oll, "great, ample", fín, "wine", snechta, "snow")[1] is said to have fallen in his reign.

He ruled for only one year, before he was killed by Gíallchad, grandson of Sírna Sáeglach, the High King who had been overthrown by Elim's father.

The Lebor Gabála Érenn synchronises his reign with that of Phraortes of the Medes (665-633 BCE).
