 E Wein -- The Sunbird
Telemakos is the grandson of two noble men: Kidane, member of the imperial parliament in the African kingdom of Aksum, and Artos, the fallen High King of Britain.  He is also a remarkable listener and tracker, resolute and inventive in his ability to hide in plain sight.
Now his aunt Goewin, Britain’s ambassador to Aksum, needs his skill.  Deadly plague has overtaken her own country; in order to keep Aksum safe, the emperor has accepted Goewin’s advice and declared a quarantine.  No one is allowed to enter or leave—yet, even with this precaution, disease and death continue to spread.
 Goewin asks Telemakos to use his talents for invisibility to spy on the traders; his involvement in the dangerous plan nearly results in his death, but the outcome opens the difficult process of healing for his family.

 CNN.com - Review: A royal 'Coalition' - May. 30, 2003
King Arthur's daughter Goewin -- Wein writes in a historical note that Goewin isn't represented in legend -- flees the British Isles for the Red Sea's sixth-century Aksumite empire, set in the region of modern-day Ethiopia and Eritrea.
But her father's wish was that Aksum's overbearing viceroy, Constantine, be that successor if his sons died, and Goewin is to be Constantine's bride.
Goewin's evolving, nearly obsessive affections for the man ring right simply because they are so profoundly felt by the princess.

He contrived Gilfaethwy's rape of the maiden Goewin, Math's foot holder.
But he and Gilfaethwy doubled back and Gwydion forced the other women to leave Goewin with Gilfaethwy, who raped her.
When she confessed this to Math, he levied as punishment on his nephews that they spent three years as animals, Gwydion as a stag, a wild sow, and a wolf, breeding each year with his brother Gilfaethwy who was hind, boar, and she-wolf.

 Goddess Culture in Early Celtic Literature   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Much of traditional Celtic studies has thus taken for granted that the position of women in early Celtic society and culture either mirrors that of modern western women, or is one of subordination under a barbarian society that is characterized as patria rchal.
In attacking Goewin, Gwydion is attacking the last political remnant of the goddess-of-sovereignty tradition, in a particular ly brutal and misogynist way.
Gwydion's plan backfires, however, for Goewin is made queen of Gwynedd by Math, as a gesture of amends, and is explicitly granted power over the kingdom.

At the time of Math’s birth, guis was placed upon him that in all waking moments his feet must be cradled in the lap of a maiden, except in times of war.
Now the chosen maiden at this time was Goewin and she was the fairest maiden of her time.
Of course, since he could not have her, his affections remained unexpressed and soon he was driven mad with it, and was irritable and quite a changed man.

 Arianrhod ferch Dôn
According to the story, when Gwydion creates a war with Pryderi so that Math can lead his men into war--thus leaving Math's footholder Goewin unattended--Gwydion's brother Gilfaethwy has a window of opportunity to rape Goewin, thus curing his "wasting sickness".
It is thought that the original, oral version of this story may have been the rape of Arianrhod by Gwydion, and the subsequent adventures of their incestuous-but-magical child.
This would explain Arianrhod's pregnancy and her subsequent hatred for her brother, as well as the disappearance from the story of Gilfaethwy and Goewin.

Arianrhod accuses Gwydion of "pursuing her shame." (ibid.) Arianrhod then curses Lleu three times by laying him under geis that he will not have a name or arms unless she gives it to him herself, and finally that he will never have a human wife.
Math was alleviated of his geis while he was at war protecting the welfare of his lands.
Consequently, Math discovers the treachery of his nephews and changes Gwydion and Gilvaethwy into a number of different animals, including: a stag and a hind, a boar and a sow, and then finally a male and female wolf.

 Gwydion
Math's special custom as king, at any time when he is not specifically at war, is to ever sit with his feet in the lap of a maiden foot-holder.
The two brothers force Goewin's serving-maidens away from her and Gilfaethwy makes his assault upon her in Math's own bed.
Math soon learns of the injury done to Goewin in his absence, and issues a decree that no one in Gwynedd shall give Gwydion and Gilfaethwy meat or drink.
