In contrast, in his translations, Megli has updated the spellings to the modern forms. Both strategies are common among scholars working on Medieval Welsh texts, and it is purely a matter of personal preference.

Index of Prydain elements and Welsh mythology The Prydain Chronicles contain many people, places, and names that are similar to those in Welsh mythology. Because the Welsh myths provided an inspiration for Prydain, Lloyd Alexander added parts of them to the adventures of Taran Assistant Pig-Keeper. Some he added without changing much; others, he altered to fit them into his stories better. To find a character or place, click the letter to the left that the name begins with; each page has a list of the names on it. Use these pages to read about the similarities and differences between the Welsh tales and Alexander's use of such characters as Taran, Gwydion, and the Cauldron-Born. The people, places, and objects in this index come from The Book of Three , the first book in the Chronicles of Prydain. Quotes about the Prydain characters come directly from The Book of Three and have page numbers given.

Visit the SurLaLune Fairy Tales Main Page Author Comment isthmus nekoi Registered User (1/23/03 2:42:22 pm) I was wondering if anyone could recommend general books about Welsh myths especially in regards to the goddess Rhiannon.... All help is greatly appreciated! Registered User (1/24/03 12:27:31 am) "The Mabinogion" is the one I hear most frequently referred to for Welsh mythology. (One site describes it as "A masterpiece of medieval literature, The Mabinogion is regarded by many as Wales’s greatest contribution to European literature... ). I've always wanted to own the version that Alan Lee illustrated.... My collection leans more to Irish myths, but a couple off of my shelves are: "Celtic Myths and Legends", by T.W. Rolleston. He gives quite a bit of commentary on the history of the Celtic people and how the mythology fits in with what we know or guess at - in addition to relaying some of the actual myths. Another one that references Rhiannon is "Tales of the Celtic Otherworld" by John Matthews. I have really mixed feelings about most of his books - they include alot of commentary that I find suspect from a scholarly point of view, but he usually has really interesting versions of the tales he is discussing.

Taliesin all books in the translation of lady Charlotte Guest The stories are quite long. Therefore I have decided to cut them in to readable pieces. On the end of each piece, please follow the 'next'-link or the 'To part x'-link on the bottom of the page. Background information The tales of the Mabinogion are not the product of any single hand; evolving over the centuries, passed from storyteller to storyteller, until some master bard put them together around the twelfth century. Its contents draw upon the myths and history of Celtic Britain: four branches of a storyline set largely within the confines of Wales and the otherworld. The tales create a dreamlike atmosphere and preserve much of the primitive, fascinating world of Celtic myth. They exemplify the heroic and idealistic world of Celtic literature. The Mabinogion does not seem to have been very well known until its translation into English in 1849 when Lady Charlotte Guest's version appeared. The tales comprise an ensemble of parts, the first four "Pwyll", "Branwen", "Manawydan", and "Math" comprising the Four Branches of the Mabinogi. It was Lady Charlotte who supplied the title Mabinogion. Previously, the tales were simply identified as part of this or that manuscript. Each of the Four Branches ends with the term 'So ends this Branch of the Mabinogi.' The Welsh word 'mab' means 'son'. Lady Charlotte concluded that 'mabinogi' was a noun meaning 'a story for children' and that the word 'mabinogion' was its plural. Another interpretation is that the word mabinog refers to "a student in the bardic class" and mabinogi (plural: mabinogion) therefore being "a tale belonging to the mabinog's repertoire".
