  • A Welsh Classical Dictionary
    A WELSH CLASSICAL DICTIONARY DACHUN, saint of Bodmin. See s.n. Credan. He has been wrongly identified with an Irish saint Dagan in LBS II.281, 285. G.H.Doble seems to have been misled in the same way (The Saints of Cornwall, IV. 156). DAGAN or DANOG, abbot of Llancarfan. He appears as Danoc in one of the ‘Llancarfan Charters’ appended to the Life of St.Cadog (§62 in VSB p.130). Here he is a clerical witness with Sulien (presumably abbot) and king Morgan [ab Athrwys]. He appears as abbot of Llancarfan in five charters in the Book of Llandaf, where he is called Danoc abbas Carbani Uallis (BLD 179c), and Dagan(us) abbas Carbani Uallis (BLD 158, 175, 186b, 195). In these five charters he is contemporary with bishop Berthwyn and Ithel ap Morgan, king of Glywysing. He succeeded Sulien as abbot and was succeeded by Paul. See Trans.Cym., 1948 pp.291-2, (but ignore the dates), and compare Wendy Davies, LlCh p.55 where Danog and Dagan are distinguished. Wendy Davies dates the BLD charters c.A.D.722 to 740 (ibid., pp.102 - 114). DALLDAF ail CUNIN COF. (Legendary). He is included in the tale of ‘Culhwch and Olwen’ as one of the warriors of Arthur's Court: Dalldaf eil Kimin Cof (WM 460, RM 106). In a triad (TYP no.73) he is called Dalldaf eil Cunyn Cof, one of the ‘Three Peers’ of Arthur's Court. In another triad (TYP no.41) we are told that Fferlas (Grey Fetlock), the horse of Dalldaf eil Cunin Cof, was one of the ‘Three Lovers' Horses’ (or perhaps ‘Beloved Horses’).

W. ROLLESTON MYTHS & LEGENDS OF THE CELTIC RACE CONSTABLE - LONDON [8] British edition published by Constable and Company Limited, London First published 1911 by George G. Harrap & Co., London [9] PREFACE The Past may be forgotten, but it never dies. The elements which in the most remote times have entered into a nation's composition endure through all its history, and help to mould that history, and to stamp the character and genius of the people. The examination, therefore, of these elements, and the recognition, as far as possible, of the part they have actually contributed to the warp and weft of a nation's life, must be a matter of no small interest and importance to those who realise that the present is the child of the past, and the future of the present; who will not regard themselves, their kinsfolk, and their fellow-citizens as mere transitory phantoms, hurrying from darkness into darkness, but who know that, in them, a vast historic stream of national life is passing from its distant and mysterious origin towards a future which is largely conditioned by all the past wanderings of that human stream, but which is also, in no small degree, what they, by their courage, their patriotism, their knowledge, and their understanding, choose to make it.

  • John Cowper Powys's Porius: a Reader's Companion
    John Cowper Powys: Porius A Reader’s Companion Updated and Expanded Edition W. J. Keith April 2009 “Reader’s Companions” by Prof. W.J. Keith to other Powys works are available at: https://www.powys-society.org/Articles.html Preface The aim of this “Companion” is to provide background information that will enrich a reading of Powys’s novel/romance. It glosses Welsh, classical, biblical, and other allusions, identifies quotations, explains geographical and historical references, and offers any commentary that may throw light on the more complex aspects of the text. (When a quotation is involved, the passage is listed under the first word even if it is “a” or “the.”) It was first made available on the Internet and in booklet form in 2004, and has subsequently been updated and revised from time to time. The present version has been thoroughly reset and expanded. Numerous errors discovered in the intervening years have been corrected. All page-references are to Judith Bond and Morine Krissdóttir’s edition published by Overlook Duckworth in 2007, with those to Wilbur T. Albrecht’s 1994 edition from Colgate University Press following in square brackets. Since the latter contained many errors and inconsistencies, the words listed often appear there in somewhat different form. Moreover, because the editions are based on different copy-texts, some references appear only in one of the editions; when those occurring in only one version require separate annotation, they have been identified and glossed. References to other JCP books published during his lifetime will be either to the first editions or to reprints that reproduce the original pagination, with the following exceptions: Wolf Solent (London: Macdonald, 1961), Weymouth Sands (London: Macdonald, 1963), Maiden Castle (ed.

  • Robert Graves the White Goddess
    ROBERT GRAVES THE WHITE GODDESS IN DEDICATION All saints revile her, and all sober men Ruled by the God Apollo's golden mean— In scorn of which I sailed to find her In distant regions likeliest to hold her Whom I desired above all things to know, Sister of the mirage and echo. It was a virtue not to stay, To go my headstrong and heroic way Seeking her out at the volcano's head, Among pack ice, or where the track had faded Beyond the cavern of the seven sleepers: Whose broad high brow was white as any leper's, Whose eyes were blue, with rowan-berry lips, With hair curled honey-coloured to white hips. Green sap of Spring in the young wood a-stir Will celebrate the Mountain Mother, And every song-bird shout awhile for her; But I am gifted, even in November Rawest of seasons, with so huge a sense Of her nakedly worn magnificence I forget cruelty and past betrayal, Careless of where the next bright bolt may fall. FOREWORD am grateful to Philip and Sally Graves, Christopher Hawkes, John Knittel, Valentin Iremonger, Max Mallowan, E. M. Parr, Joshua IPodro, Lynette Roberts, Martin Seymour-Smith, John Heath-Stubbs and numerous correspondents, who have supplied me with source- material for this book: and to Kenneth Gay who has helped me to arrange it. Yet since the first edition appeared in 1946, no expert in ancient Irish or Welsh has offered me the least help in refining my argument, or pointed out any of the errors which are bound to have crept into the text, or even acknowledged my letters.

  • (Drome Anb Tfjelptlb Intuit: Tfje Betoriopment of a Mptfj
    (Drome anb tfjelPtlb Intuit: tfje betoriopment of a mptfj Jlicfjael n the hfstoRies OF THE Elder Days of Arda, as transcribed and interpreted by the late Professor Tolkien, certain peoples, events and characters can be discerned of whom a memory has survived in one form or another, and entered into the mythologies and traditions of subsequent cultures. Though distorted by the vagaries of oral transmission — the written histories, we must assume, having lain undiscovered from the post-Fourth Age period until their retrieval by Professor Tolkien — plausible identifications are nonetheless possible, and indeed, many such have already been made by observant scholars. The Onodrim, the Dru-folk and the Periannath, for example, are all well-evidenced in later Mannish traditions. Major events such as the whelming of Numenor and the ruin of Beleriand obviously provided the genesis of the legends of Atlantis, and of the various Celtic 'lost lands' — Lyonesse, Ker-Ys, Cantref Gwaelod, Tyno Helig etc. Parallels between the 'Seven Sleepers' of Ephesus and the Seven Fathers of the Dwarves, and between Turin and both Kullervo and Sigurd the Volsung have also been noted. I t There is one character present in the 'Quenta Silmari11 ion' whose actions and attributes have permeated European mythology over many centuries, have diffused in variant forms to most parts of the world — and the echoes of which are even now being adapted into modern urban folklore. This figure is 0rom6 the great, 0rom6 the huntsman, 'tamer of beasts', a mighty lord of the Valar; and the myth which has evolved from his appearances on Middle- earth is that of the 'Wild Hunt'.

  • Tolkien's Cosmic-Christian Ecology
    Siewer_10.qxd 6/30/05 17:37 Page 139 CHAPTER 10 TOLKIEN’S COSMIC-CHRISTIAN ECOLOGY: THE MEDIEVAL UNDERPINNINGS Alfred K. Siewers Tolkien’s fascination with Celtic otherworldly narrative traditions helps to illumine the ecologically centered aspects of his fantasy.Views of nature that emerged in early-medieval literature from incarnational, cosmic emphases of Christianity (in tandem with earlier mythology) provided a narrative base for Tolkien’s critique of modern objectifying views of nature. t the start of the third millennium, readers still immersed in the end Aof the Third Age in J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings included tree-house living eco-pagan activists blocking motorway construction in England and evangelical Christians at conservative Wheaton College (Illinois) dedicating a new library in honor of Tolkien and his literary friends the Inklings.“The beauty of the road-protests was that they enabled us as young adults to fully indulge those escapist fantasies,” said activist eco-pagan Andy Letcher, “whilst engaging in a meaningful ecological struggle. .Tolkien grounded us, and made us relevant.”1 In the heartland of an American consumer culture that Tolkien abhorred,2 Wheaton College faculty mem- ber Jerry Root noted that texts like The Lord of the Rings remain an oasis of sorts for conservative traditionalists as well. “People today are underdevel- oped spiritually, they’re famished,” said Root, who teaches courses on the Inklings on a campus where students pledge not to drink as a form of religious practice, even as contemporaries in Letcher’s Tolkien-inspired Siewer_10.qxd 6/30/05 17:37 Page 140 140 ALFRED K.
