Great podcast have transcribed the poem about Urien to music...I got interested in Taliesin after doing some research about my home county of Cumbria I didn't realise cumbria and Cymru were so connected...
Pigs, of course, feature numerously in early Welsh prose. Pryderi's seven swine swindled by Gwydion, the Twrch Trwyth and his seven little piglets and the sow who leads Gwydion to Lleu in eagle form at the top of the world tree, spring to mind.
Of course. I think all of these connotations are intended, as well as it being a bit of nick name, not unlike another famous poet of the time Dafydd Benfras: David the Cod!
Siwmae Dr G. Lol, hindsight, not as handy as foresight in many situations. "What a mistaka to makea" prevailing upon Awen, a pure pagan power, partly of inspiration in prose, poetry and prescience. In the name and for the grace of a cargo cult character. Sounds like a recipe for disaster... I got a bad feeling about this... Had Awen inspired the bard, things may have been different! Still, when you disavow your deities disaster, destruction, desolation, destitution and despair draw daily closer... Just a bored blokes two Bob's worth.

brilliant as always but, I rely somewhat on the closed captions and I wish that they were more accurate in conveying your words
apologies, it just takes a lot of time to edit the automatic captions, one day I may have the time!
Beautifully explained. Thank you for that.
Croeso.

"the Welsh custom of family infighting."
Laughs in Welsh family with a lot of familial infighting.
