Udceus, in Greek mythology, was one of the fol- lowers of Cadmus, five of whom murdered each other. He was grandsire of Tiresias.
Udainsakr, in Northern mythology, is the name given to that part of the land of the blessed where, with all earthly wants, all sorrows are at an end, whose inhabitants neither sickness nor death befalls.
