Leur origine est sans doute bien plus ancienne encore que cela. Ces histoires faisaient partie du corpus de légendes que les bardes médiévaux (car la fonction de barde s’est conservée très longtemps au pays de Galles), poètes de cour et détenteurs officiels de la tradition se devaient d’avoir à leur répertoire. On trouve dans ces récits les traces et le parfum de personnages mythologiques, de divinités des anciens celtes, peut-être même de grands archétypes indo- européens. Tombés petit à petit dans l’oubli, il faudra attendre le XIXème siècle pour que des érudits passionnés comme Lady Charlotte Guest, redonnent une vie à ces histories et les traduisent en anglais. -

The Birth of Lleu
Chapter 5 The Mabinogi of Math The Birth of Lleu The punishment of the sons of Dôn, along with the rape of Goewin itself, the stealing of the pigs, and the death of the southern hero Pryderi might collectively be seen as the initiating circumstances for the conception of Lleu Llaw Gyfess, the central hero of the Fourth Branch. To understand why this should be the case, it is necessary to re-examine the Celtic tradition relating to the ‘unusual’ birth of heroes, which we have already considered above (pp. 491-494). We will recall, in the story of Cú Chulainn there would appear to have been a number of attendent circumstances, rather than a single cause, surrounding the birth and conception of the hero. The mother of Cú Chulainn seems to have recently lost a much loved (otherworldly) foster-son, imbibed a strange drink and had a prophetic dream in which she met the god Lugh, who informed her that she was pregnant with his child. And pregnant she proved to be. The mysterious circumstances of her pregnancy led to rumours of incestuous relations with her father and considerable private shame. On her wedding night, we are told, she lay on her front and crushed the unborn child within her, yet she soon became pregnant again in the normal way with her new husband. Precisely which of these circumstances led to the birth of the hero is far from clear, but what is implied was that each of them was significant in some way to his coming. The circumstances surrounding the birth of Lleu would seem to be no less murky. -
God Is Transgender
GOD IS TRANSGENDER In what was an intellectual high for the New York Times, the Gray Lady printed an op- ed article titled “Is God Transgender?” by a New York rabbi named Mark Sameth. Related to a man who “transitioned to a woman” in the 1970s, Sameth contends that “the Hebrew Bible, when read in its original language, offers a highly flexible view of gender.” He puts forward many historical examples of gender fluidity in the Hebrew scriptures, in order to maintain that religion should not be put in service of “social prejudices” against transgendering. His treatment of the Bible amounts to excellent scholarship. Proposing that the God of Israel was worshipped originally as “a dual-gendered deity,” the rabbi asserts, that the etymological derivation of Yahweh is “He/She” (HUHI). His argument requires that the Tetragrammaton be read, not from right to left (as Hebrew always is), but from left to right: The four-Hebrew-letter name of God, which scholars refer to as the Tetragrammaton, YHWH, was probably not pronounced “Jehovah” or “Yahweh,” as some have guessed. The Israelite priests would have read the letters in reverse as Hu/Hi—in other words, the hidden name of God was Hebrew for “He/She.” Some biblical scholars say that “Yahweh” is derived from the third-person singular of the verb “to be” (hayah), whether a qal imperfect (“he is” or “he will be”) or the causative hiphil imperfect (“he causes to come into being, he creates”). This view is confirmed by numerous lines of evidence: the interpretation given in Exod 3:14 (“Say to the sons of Israel, ‘ehyeh [‘I am’ or ‘I will be’ (who I am/will be)] sent me to you”); the use of shortened forms of Yahweh at the end (“Yah” or “Yahu”) or beginning (“Yeho” or “Yo”) of Hebrew names; the spelling “Yabe” known to the Samaritans; and transliterations “Yao,” “Ya-ou-e,” and “Ya-ou-ai” in some Greek texts. -
Mabon Ap Modron 2006
Caer Australis Occasional Papers : Mabon ap Modron 2006 Mabon ap Modron The story of the Divine Son Mabon ap Modron , the Son of the Mother, in his story from birth to kingship, is a recurring theme found throughout Celtic mythological and legendary literature. Presented here is an insight into his story as found in the myths of "the Mabinogion" collection in the White and Red Books, and from this the reader will recognise the theme as it occurs in the Welsh, the Irish and in the ancient Gaullish traditions. The Mabon theme is that of the birth of a miraculous - divine - boy, born to a remarkable or significant - divine - mother, who is lost to her, performs amazing feats to attain manhood, and wins the hand of a beautiful - also divine - maiden. Mabon is the Celtic child solar deity; his mother the Celtic tripartite goddess in her mother aspect and the maiden the goddess as maiden. His story has a seasonal aspect, for we can identify the time of birth of the Celtic god's nativity, and also of his union with the goddess: these are recorded in the myths quite clearly. Mabon literally means 'son' and comes from the Celtic 'maponos' now found in 'map', 'mab' and 'mac' (meaning 'son of') in the extant Celtic languages. Likewise, Modron literally means 'mother', from 'matronae', 'the Mothers', the Celtic tripartite Goddess. The ultimate meaning of "the Mabinogion" relates to this, and the Four Branches together appear to have originally formed a 'Myth of the Son'. While the White Book of Rhydderch (1325) and the Red Book of Hergest (1400) were compiled from redactions quite late, the stories themselves are much older, and the themes ancient. -

Jednoho dne byl v svém nejpřednějším sídle, Arberthu, a přišlo mu na mysl jíti na lov; Glynn Cuch byla ta část jeho panství, kde chtěl loviti. I vypravil se té noci z Arberthu a došel až do Llwyn Diarwya, a tam strávil noc. Druhého dne za úsvitu vstal a šel do Glynn Cuchu, aby pustil své psy po lese. Zatroubil na roh, ohlašuje tak počátek honu, a šel za svými psy, až ztratil družinu. A když naslouchal štěkotu svých psů, uslyšel štěkot jiné smečky; ten zněl jinak a blížil se. V lese spatřil paseku, úplně rovnou; a jak jeho smečka dobíhala k jejímu okraji, uviděl jelena, jenž prchal před druhou smečkou. A smečka, která se hnala za ním, asi uprostřed paseky ho dohonila a strhla k zemi. Tu se Pwyll zadíval na barvu těch psů, nevšímaje si jelena. Ze všech loveckých psů, co jich kdy viděl, žádný neměl takovou barvu: byla jasně a zářivě bílá, jejich uši červené. A jako se skvěla jejich bělost, tak zářila i rudá barva jejich uší. Tu šel k psům, odehnal smečku, jež zabila jelena, a dal droby svým psům. V té chvíli spatřil za smečkou přijíždět rytíře na velikém siváku. Na krku mu visel lovecký roh; byl oděn v lovecký šat ze šedé vlny. Rytíř přijel k němu a řekl: „Pane, vím, kdo jsi, a nepozdravím tě." „Ano," děl Pwyll, „snad máš takovou hodnost, že ti to nepřísluší." „Věru," odvětil muž, „nezdržuje mě od toho důstojnost mého postavení." - 5 - „Co jiného tedy, pane“ tázal se Pwyll. -
Chapter on History of the Otherworld
PERCEPTIONS OF ANNWN: THE OTHERWORLD IN THE FOUR BRANCHES OF THE MABINOGI Rhian Rees MA Celtic Studies Dissertation Department of Welsh and Bilingual Studies Supervisor: Dr Jane Cartwright University of Wales Trinity Saint David, Lampeter 2012 2 ABSTRACT There is little description or positive information about the realm of Annwn in the Four Branches, and relatively few publications have explored the Otherworld in the Mabinogi in any depth. The redactor presumably did not deem such detail necessary since in his time the Otherworld was a place familiar to his audience from many other stories and folk-tales which have not survived to inform our own times. The objective of this thesis, therefore, is to establish the perceived location of the Celtic Otherworld, its nature and topography, and to obtain descriptions of its people, buildings and animals and any distinctive objects or characteristics pertaining to it. The ways in which Annwn influences each of the Four Branches are also considered. Some sketchy evidence is available in Welsh poetry, mostly various descriptive names reflecting different aspects of Annwn, but for more detailed information it is necessary to trawl the waters of early Irish literature. The Irish poems and stories give much fuller particulars of all characteristics of the Celtic Otherworld, though they do suggest that there was more than one such other world. Some parallels from Norse literature and the Lais of Marie de France also reinforce certain themes of this thesis, such as magical tumuli and magical bags and -

Round 8 1. According to One Late Tradition, He Married a Daughter Of
Round 8 1. According to one late tradition, he married a daughter of Minyas named Clymene that bore him Arcesilaus, the father of Laertes. He was awarded the island of Samos during the war against the Teleboans, which was renamed for him. Apollodorus describes how this man was actually a son of Herse and Hermes who fathered Tithonos when he was (*) kidnapped by Eos. This man’s wife was bribed with a golden crown to have sex with Pteleon. Afterwards, she fled to the court of King Minos. When his wife sang a hymn invoking Nephele, he used a weapon he had received from her to impale her, that weapon was a spear that never missed. For 10 points, name this consort of Procris. ANSWER: Cephalus 2. In The Book of the Heavenly Cow, this god pours an alcoholic substance that floods the “four meadows of paradise” and orders Hathor to destroy evil humans. He is sometimes depicted as being merged with Horus of the Double Horizon, during which he is conflated with Horakhty. In a text named after him, this god is bitten by a snake that was created when his daughter used his saliva to create it - that text sees (*) Isis try to learn this god’s true name. This god constantly does battle with the primordial dragon Apophis during the tenth hour of the night, only to emerge victorious every day. Hathor is often said to be the eye of this figure. For 10 points, name this god of the sun who was conflated with Atum. ANSWER: Ra 3. -

Rewriting a Mythic Nation: Welsh Women Writers Recovering Welsh Myth and Folklore
REWRITING A MYTHIC NATION: WELSH WOMEN WRITERS RECOVERING WELSH MYTH AND FOLKLORE BETHAN LOUISE COOMBS A submission presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the University of South Wales/Prifysgol De Cymru for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy September 2015 ABSTRACT This thesis examines the function of Welsh mythology, fairy tale and folklore in a selection of works by twentieth- and twenty-first-century Anglophone Welsh women writers who choose to engage with such source material. Its aim is to provide a critical response to those recoveries through feminist and postcolonial theoretical readings. Spanning a century, between 1914 and 2013, its chapters discuss novels by two canonical Welsh writers – Hilda Vaughan, whose work belongs to the first half of the twentieth century, and Alice Thomas Ellis, writing in the second half – followed by two further chapters analysing relevant material drawn from the short story and poetry genres. The final two chapters interrogate novellas by women contributors to Seren Press’s recent series, New Stories from The Mabinogion (2009 – 2013) and thus provide an inaugural critical response to that series: I examine contributions by Gwyneth Lewis, Fflur Dafydd, Trezza Azzopardi, and Tishani Doshi. Throughout this thesis I argue that in the act of recovering and retelling the source narratives, these writers both draw out issues of gender and nationhood embedded in the originals and explore contemporary issues of gender and nationhood emerging from within their socio-historic contexts. When Welsh women writers select Welsh myth, fairy tales and folklore as mediums through which to comment on those issues as paradigms of gender and nationhood, those paradigms are doubly interrogated.
