- Summary: THE CAULDRON OF REBIRTH - The Second Branch of the Maninogi relates the unhappy story of the marriage of Branwen, sister of the giant king of the Island of the Mighty - Bendigeidfran - to Matholwch, King of Ireland. The narrative is followed in some detail because it prefigures in so many poignant ways the evil inherent in the tribal suspicions of the Irish and the Britons and the tragedy of internecine warfare. The Cauldronof Resuscitation stands as a potent symbol at the centre of the narrative; and at the end it is the Severed Head representing the power of language that transmutes the miseries as well as the splendours of the human condition, that brings comfort to the survivors of the catastrophe.
- Description:It is odd that most british men and women know more about the myths of greece and rome than of their own island. This series will redress the balance by exploring our shared celtic litereay heritage from the mabinogii to arthur.
