		Math's very existence, then, lay in the 'maiden' aspect of the Feminine Principle (as we have said, he was an extension of Don) and Goewin, which means sprightly - denoting youth, was the earthly representative of such a principle on the mundane stratum of myth.

		As the maiden represents Don, the lusting of Gilfaethwy after a symbolic mother may point to a taboo on incest.
