Dylan (or Dylan Eil Ton) is a sea-god in Welsh Celtic mythology, a son of Arianrhod.
Dylan was the first of the two sons born to Arianrhod.
Since the moment of his birth the golden-haired boy was a creature able to swim in the ocean like a fish, and he therefore received the epithet Eil Ton ("Son of the Wave").

Dylan is heir to the preachers and the proselytizers of the prairies, not to the dramatic actors of London's stages.
Dylan was a bursting visionary who addressed the times in apocalyptic terms, who commented as a universal judge would, who threw mournful condemnations against the forces of evil ("the masters of war) and who raised gentle tributes to his guardian angels ("sad-eyed lady of the lowlands").

Dylan's amazing book of memoirs, "Chronicles, Volume One" was just released in paperback, and he sat down with "60 Minutes" for a brief, appropriately enigmatic interview that aired June 12.

Then Dylan is shown backstage making a crack about his being "back from the dead" right before he revs up "Like a Rolling Stone" in the face of a jeering crowd and a cry of "Judas." Trouble is, that concert was May 17, 1966, before the motorcycle wreck.

Dylan was also notorious for "borrowing" people's records and not returning them in the early days.
So his self-created mythology might have begun as an attempt to give himself some "cred" but it transformed into a means to protect himself (and his family) from psychophants and the like.

 F&M Courses 2004-2005
Participants will also focus on Dylan’s frustrations of audience expectation, from the anger evoked by his apparent abandonment of the (legitimately) serious protest and (in hindsight quaintly) static urban folk traditions, to his apparent embracing of Christianity, to more recent charges of surrender to commercialism.
Recent attacks stressing Dylan’s “plagiarism” reveal that he composes his poetry and lyrics in ways similar to those found in much poetry which establishes its meanings and builds its art forms based on the texts available from the poet’s own repertoire.
Dylan’s large-scale narratives (“Desolation Row,” “Tangled Up in Blue,” “Jokerman,” “Highlands,” “Floater,” etc.) can be heard/read as different chapters in a story that is (perhaps) as much Dylan’s as that of his characters.

One of the best-known poets of the twentieth century, Dylan Thomas was born in 1914 in Swansea, a small industrial city on the southern coast of Wales, one of the countries of Great Britain.
Thomas's father, a school teacher, gave him the name "Dylan" after the name of a sea god in Celtic mythology, little knowing that the poet's eventual fame would help make this name such a popular one today.
But what Dylan Thomas will be remembered for most of all are his many poems which insist that life will carry on from generation to generation, all with the same vigor as before.
