Eda, also known as Da or Noin depending on the various recorded oral traditions, is considered the ancestor of the Ewe people and the founder of the Kingdom of Notsé. Upon arriving in the region with a group, Eda is said to have received the land of Notsé after negotiating with a priest of Mawu who owned the land. He then became the sacred-king of the city and established his dynasty there. The elements concerning his life blend with myth, and he is regarded as the ancestor of the Ewe people.
