New Translation Of The Mabinogion Completed
Author: Sally Williams Source: Western Mail
Title: MABINOGION JUST THE THING FORA FANTASY BLOCKBUSTER
A Welsh academic has just completed the first new English translation of The Mabinogion for 30 years.
Sioned Davies, chair of Welsh at Cardiff University, has recreated the medieval stories of Wales.
And Welsh academics believe the work could attract the attention of movie makers looking to make a Lord of the Rings-style adaptation of Wales' seminal Celtic myths.
The stories have seen many different interpretations over the years including several translations and cartoon adaptations.
The name Mabinogion was given by William Pughe, an 18th century antiquarian, to a selection of narrative works found in two great ancient books of Wales.

I always did like folklore, mythology and fantasy tales a little out of the ordinary. Sounds like a great read.

"The First Branch is set in Dyfed, an area connected to the magical underworld known as Annwfn.
Here Rhiannon The Great Queen is a goddess of horses, birds and the Island Otherworld."
I wonder who they'll get to play me?
Epognia is no problem, as she's presently a shapely blond in Edmondton...
