Dil Na'od

Dil Na'od (also spelled Del Na'od) refers to a historical figure in Ethiopian history, specifically a ruler or king. Information about Dil Na'od is primarily found within traditional oral histories and chronicles, making verifiable historical data somewhat scarce. He is generally associated with the Zagwe dynasty, which ruled Ethiopia from approximately the 10th to the 13th centuries CE.

Details concerning Dil Na'od's life, reign, and specific contributions are often shrouded in legend. He is sometimes mentioned in genealogies and king lists, but his precise position within the Zagwe lineage, and even the exact years of his rule (if he indeed held sole rule), are subjects of debate among historians. Sources often differ in their accounts and relative importance ascribed to different Zagwe rulers. Due to the reliance on oral traditions and the subsequent transcription of these stories, it is difficult to separate historical fact from mythological embellishment. He is often included as part of the list of kings who are said to have ruled before the Solomonic dynasty reclaimed the throne.
