The webcam and The Mabinogion
Posted By: Skeletor <skeletor02@lycos.com>	Date: 10/18/01 4:33 p.m.
...was just showing a book (I didn't catch a picture of it before they removed it). It was a hard-back and looked like the protective-sleeve had been removed. I thought the title read: "The Masinogion". When I searched for it on google.com it came up with nothing except a reference to "The Mabinogion". I searched for that and came up with some interesting stuff which sounds vaguely familiar to the tales behind some of the names in Marathon, like Count Roland and the sword Durandal. The Mabinogion consists of four branches, or tales: Pwyll Prince of Dyfed Branwen The Daughter of Llyr Manawyddan The Son of Llyr Math The Son of Mathonwy Each tale tells of members of the Welsh Royal households, but these personages are embodiments of the ancient gods and goddesses of the land. Over the years, the ancient themes have become entangled with the more modern veneer of royalty and Christian references. The earliest text of any part of the Mabinogion is dated in the mid-thirteenth century, but the style and content indicate that it probably took its current form some 200 years before this.
