the Fomorians

Irish mythology: In the pseudo-history of Ireland called Lebor Gabala Erenn, or the Book of Invasions, the Fomorians were the enemies of the Tuatha De Danann, who in turn were a pre-Gaelic people who invaded Ireland.

The Tuatha De Danann later became one of the groups associated with the "fairy people" of Irish legend.

This sentence in Wake has several references to Irish mythological texts.
