	Concerning the Name Cordelia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		The first example is in a list of names given by Culhwch when he arrives at Arthur's court, where one of these is "Creiddylad daugther of Ludd Silver-hand." The second reference to the name is in the story of Creiddylad [5].
		Creiddylad appears to be a modern spelling of the name; in the 14th century, we see it spelled Creidylat [7].
		We are skeptical of any relation between Creiddylad and Cordelia; we can find no relation other than the string of consonants C-R-D-L. Aside from these literary and legendary uses, we have found only two examples of real people using the name Cordelia before modern times.

	Culhwch and Olwen: Introductory Essay
		Gwyn son of Nudd is, in Welsh tradition, a barely euhemerized god of Annwyvn (the Welsh otherworld) and this tale, with its focus on the realm of seasonal and temporal liminality, reflects a romantic narrative pattern that is common of Welsh and English fairy lore.
		Although it is not mentioned in Culhwch, the abduction of Gwenhwyvar by Melwas is similar to Creiddylad's abduction.
		Gwenhwyvar is, in fact, Creiddylad's sister-in-law and Melwas--as king of Glastonbury, or the Isle of Glass--is certainly reminiscent of the otherworldly Gwyn.

	The Death of Llew
		In most Pagan cultures, the sun god is seen as split between two rival personalities: the god of light and his twin, his 'weird', his 'other self', the god of darkness.
		They are Gawain and the Green Knight, Gwyn and Gwythyr, Llew and Goronwy, Lugh and Balor, Balan and Balin, the Holly King and the Oak King, etc. Often they are depicted as fighting seasonal battles for the favor of their goddess/lover, such as Creiddylad or Blodeuwedd, who represents Nature.
		The god of light is always born at the winter solstice, and his strength waxes with the lengthening days, until the moment of his greatest power, the summer solstice, the longest day.
