Disambiguate and copyedit; also del "who could only be killed by a mortal" because while that is what many scholars think is the reason, the text does not specify why Pwyll was successful and Arawn was not.
Arawn is the Lord of Annwn/Annwfn, not a god, though Annwfn is the Welsh otherworld, it is not a mere underworld.
Rhiannon is not dressed in gold the metal, but in gold silk brocade; her horse is described in the Welsh in "supernatural" terms as a shining white horse, an otherworldly horse.
I'll try to come back later and fill in some of the more important details, like the dates, -- much of the action hinges around calen Mai/May Day and May eve, equivalent to Beltaine in Irich myth. I'll also add a bibliography, if wikipedians aren't sick to death of Celtic bibs <g> DigitalMedievalist 06:06, 7 Jan 2004 (UTC) Lisa
[edit] Copyvio?
This appears to be a copyvio from http://www.mandrake-press.co.uk/Definitions/celticmythbeings.html but it's possible they copied from us rather than WikiPedia from them... Is anyone capable of clearing this up? --Chiacomo 03:43, 26 May 2005 (UTC)
