    Introduction to Welsh Mythology
    Introduction to Welsh Mythology
    Posted by: Makarios on Friday, February 05, 2010 - 12:00 PM
    History, Legend & Myth By CelticScholar

    <snip> As soon as anyone says the words Welsh Mythology everyone automatically thinks of two things, first, The Mabinogian, and second The Barddas. However, are they all there is to Welsh Mythology? My answer (after a bit of research) would an emphatic NO!

    From my previous essay on Celtic Mythology, we know that none of the Welsh writings from the first millennium survived intact. There are fragments in Old Welsh that date to the ninth and tenth century CE. And the medieval manuscripts that survived when looked at linguistically can also be dated to the oral traditions of the ninth and tenth century CE. Most of the Welsh mythology though came to us in the form of Middle Welsh manuscripts. The manuscripts are: The Book of Aneurin, The Book of Taliesin, The Black Book of Carmarthen, The White Book of Rhydderch and the Red Book of Hergest and the White Book of Hergest. Other sources include the ninth century Latin text History of the Britons, Geoffrey Monmouth’s twelfth century Latin text History of the Kings of Britain and later works of folklore like the Welsh Fairy Book by W. Jenkyn Thomas written in 1908. There are also mnemonic list-texts like the Welsh Triads and the Thirteen Treasures of the Island of Britain.
