35. The Dark Side of the Hero Myth pt 1

08 Feb 2022

Description

Canu Llywarch Hen, the sequence of 9th century Welsh poems about the tragedy of Llywarch the Old and his 24 sons, is one of the most important works in Welsh literature. But far from joining in with the pomp and pageantry of traditional praise poetry, instead it reveals a darker side of the hero myth so beloved by the nobility.   Courses on Celtic myth and folklore: https://celticsource.online/courses-page
