Main Page | See live article | Alphabetical index Dylan (or Dylan Eil Ton; sea in Welsh) is a sea-god in Welsh Celtic mythology, a son of Arianrhod and Gwydion. He was killed by his uncle, Govannon, who didn't know who he was. He is sometimes said to be a god of darkness. Dylan was the first of the two sons born to Arianrhod - the second being Llew Llaw Gyffes. Since the moment of his birth the golden-haired Dylan was a creature able to swim in the ocean like a fish, and he therefore received the epithet Eil Ton (Son of the Wave). It was said that his death caused all the waves of the sea to mourn his loss. This article is from Wikipedia. All text is available under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License.
