I'm going to create a second page specifically for Owain as a literary character in the near future. Does anyone have any suggestions as what to title it? I think the best bet would be either Yvain or Ywain, but Sir Owain or Owain (legend} would work (though a bit clunky}. I'll create the page in the next couple of days.

[edit] Army of Ravens?

I found the following note on the Web:"In the Dream of Rhonaby, Owein ap Urien has an army of ravens, which rally at the raising of a standard." - Is this the same Owein that this page refers to? And if so, could someone add the story behind this? --Boris 00:41, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

It is the same Owein. The literary exploits of this figure are discussed at Ywain, including the Dream of Rhonabwy.--CĂșchullain t / c 01:29, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
