The story of Culhwch and Olwen is that of a thousand quests and why it's probably ok to name your baby after the place they were born...but maybe not if they were born in a literal pigsty. The creature this week is the Hydrus, who is not the Lernian Hydra, of Heracles fame, but it does get a second act as a Biblical metaphor.

Welcome to the third episode of a brand new series of Stories That Made Us. This second series is all about the Heroes of mythology. It's the stories of conquests, love, wars, and heartbreaks; the tales of men and women who, through their bravery, conviction, integrity, and strength, created the moral and social constructs that govern our lives to date. Once the world was created, as discussed in the first series, it fell to heroes and heroines to guide the race of mankind to be a better version of ourselves. These are those tales. The inspirational stories of courage, selflessness and justice that were passed down to us by our parents and grandparents. We, in this episode, conclude the famous story of Kilhwch and Olwen, which is a classic hero quest during the times of the great fabled British King Arthur. The story is translated from the book - THE MABINOGION. Now the Mabinogion is one of the earliest compilation of stories to have come from the British isles. Written in around the 12th and 13th centuries, these tales provide a fascinating glimpse into pre-Christian British life.The book we refer to is free for use and distribution and can be found in Gutenberg.org. Check below for more details on the book! It is, as you would find out, an intriguing read!Reference: Title: The MabinogionAuthor: Lady Charlotte GuestTranscribed from the 1849 edition text by David Price, email ccx074@pglaf.orgURL: https://www.gutenberg.org/files/5160/5160-h/5160-h.htm#page5I hope you enjoy the tale.

For this episode, Paige chose a classic feminist retelling of King Arthur: The Mists of Avalon. However, on closer inspection of the author we found some information that casts the novel in a very different light.Mythology & Folklore: the legend of King ArthurResources Paige used for the folklore surrounding King Arthur:Britannica articles on King Arthur, Arthurian Legend, and Culhwch and Olwen.Paige Presents Fun with Comics: This week Jennifer talked about one of her new favorite Webtoons: The Strongest Florist.The Mists of Avalon, Marion Zimmer BradleyTo learn more about the author, check out her Wikipedia page.To learn more about the book, check out the Wikipedia page.

In this episode, the members of Arthur's court continue to work on the impossible tasks set by Ysbaddaden Bencawr as a condition of Culhwch's marriage to Olwen - most notably, the hunt for the great boar Twrch Trwyth, which takes them all over the British Isles and involves an enormous number of previously unmentioned characters, most of whom die immediately. (After the end of the episode proper, there is a bonus fifteen minutes of me reciting a list of names that I courteously excised from the middle of part 1.) CONTENT WARNINGS: Various mentions of fairly gruesome encounters - people being chopped in half, etc. These are usually brief, but occur without warning.

Ysbaddaden Bencawr gives our hero Culhwch a list of forty impossible (or highly improbable) tasks he must complete before he will be allowed to marry Olwen. This takes the first fifteen minutes of the episode. After that, Culhwch's companions slay a giant to steal his sword, and get advice from a series of ancient animals to solve a missing persons case. CONTENT WARNINGS: A sub character was kidnapped as a newborn and is found by the protagonists, having been imprisoned his whole life.

This episode is the first of three parts telling the story of Culhwch, King Arthur's nephew, who is cursed to marry no-one other than Olwen, daughter of the great and terrible giant Ysbaddaden Bencawr. In this part, we hear Culhwch's backstory, his request for assistance from King Arthur, and meet various characters with weird superpowers that are never explained or returned to. WARNINGS: A lot of weird shit happens in this story. Culhwch's mother goes mad for the duration of the pregnancy, his stepmother is violently abducted and her previous husband killed, Culhwch threatens to shout so loud all the women in Arthur's court go barren or miscarry, the protagonists meet a woman who has had twenty-two sons killed by her brother in law, and the protagonists kill nine dogs that guard the gates of the evil guy's castle. All of these things are mentioned in like, half a sentence, and the story moves on without comment.

In which we discover that it can be unwise to have your name on your belt, that cleverness is important for heroes, the downsides of wagon driving and how a pudding can save or take a life. Today's story has giants, heroes, magic swords, enchanted ladies, generous princes, a possessed princess, treasure, wicked magicians, monsters and even the devil has a bit part. The original text that this story is based on is found in English Fairy Tales You can also read more about Culhwch & Olwen and other excellent adventures in the Mabinogion. Today's recipe is Sticky Toffee Pudding. You can find more information about the history of puddings as well as the ingredients for Hasty Pudding at the blog post associated with this podcast. Its also the best place for further reading resources as well as other references mentioned in the podcast.

Mae MADLIBINOGION yn cyfuno chwedlau’r Mabinogi a’r gêm geiriau Mad Libs. Yn y bennod gyntaf (ac, o bosib, yr olaf) mae Elis Derby a Tomos Morris-Jones yn chwarae ac yn ail-greu straeon Pwyll Pendefig Dyfed a Culhwch ac Olwen. Rhybudd – iaith gref a chynnwys anaeddfed.

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the eleven stories of Celtic mythology and Arthurian romance known as The Mabinogion, most of which were told and retold for generations before being written down in C14th. Among them are stories of Pwyll and Rhiannon and their son Pryderi, of Culhwch and Olwen, of the dream of the Emperor Macsen, of Lludd and Llefelys, of magic and giants and imagined history. With common themes but no single author, they project an image of the Island of Britain before the Anglo-Saxons and Normans and before Edward I's conquest of Wales. They came to new prominence, worldwide, from C19th with the translation into English by Lady Charlotte Guest aided by William Owen Pughe.

Hello and thank you once again for joining us down at the crossroads for some music, magick, and Paganism. Where witches gather for the sabbath, offerings are made, pacts are signed for musical fame and we cross paths with today’s most influential Pagans, occultists, and deep thinkers. I am your bewitching, bald headed, host Chris Orapello and tonight Tara and I welcome Damh the Bard back to show to discuss his new album Y Mabinogi: the First Branch of the Mabinogion a wonderful bardic adaptation by Damh himself with new music created to build upon the story of the first branch. Along with exploring the creation and music of his new album we learn more about his background and his former life as we discuss pagan leadership and community. You might be as pleasantly surprised as we were. The Mabinogion (Welsh pronunciation: [mabɪˈnɔɡjɔn]) are the earliest prose stories of the literature of Britain. The stories were compiled in Middle Welsh in the 12th–13th centuries from earlier oral traditions. The two main source manuscripts were created c. 1350–1410, as well as a few earlier fragments. These stories offer drama, philosophy, romance, tragedy, fantasy and humour, and were created by various narrators over time. The title covers a collection of eleven prose stories of widely different types. There is a classic hero quest, "Culhwch and Olwen"; historic legend in "Lludd and Llefelys" glimpses a far off age; and other tales portray a very different King Arthur from the later popular versions. The highly sophisticated complexity of the Four Branches of the Mabinogi defies categorisation. The stories are so diverse that a leading scholar has challenged them as a true collection... - Wikipedia Featured Songs: "Rhiannon" by Faun "Fire in the Head" by Sharon Knight "Glashtyn Shanty" by S.J.
