Culhwch ac Olwen
- Summary
- The earliest complete Arthurian narrative. Culhwch, cursed to love only Olwen, comes to his cousin Arthur's court and invokes a court-list of some two hundred names; the giant Ysbaddaden sets around forty impossible tasks; Arthur's warband performs them, culminating in the hunt of Twrch Trwyth.
