Goddesses of the Mabinogion

Rhiannon

Rhiannon was the daughter of Hefeydd Hen. She had three magical birds that could wake the dead and lull the living to sleep. This otherworld Princess was out riding her grey white horse when she was spotted by Pwyll, Prince of Dyfed. He fell instantly in love with her and she with him, although she was already promised to Gwawl. Pwyll tricked Gwawl into giving him Rhiannons hand in marriage. When Gwawl's friend, Llwyd ap Cil Coed found out about the deceit, he put a curse on Dyfed which brought Rhiannon much trouble throughout her life.
