"Pwyll’s meeting with Rhiannon is hedged about with mystery: he sees her when he is in a special location, Gorsedd Arberth, where strange things tend to happen; she appears to him on a dazzling white horse and, try as he might, neither he nor his swiftest horsemen can catch up with her, despite her leisurely pace." - from Celtic Wales by Miranda J. Aldhouse-Green (2000) #mabinogi #pwyll #gorseddarberth #rhiannon #horse

"The essentially mythic nature of the Four Branches is characterized by the strong thread of supernatural occurrences that are present in each of the Branches. Such incidents are far too numerous to mention them all, but a few examples will suffice to demonstrate their centrality. In the First Branch, Pwyll spends a year in the Otherworld, described as if it were a mirror-image of all that is most enjoyable in earthly life, although the inhabitants of this world do not possess all the faculties of humans (hence Arawn’s need for Pwyll to kill Hafgan)." - from Celtic Wales by Miranda J.

"In the Mabinogi, it is in the two branches which tell of the northern families that one reads of stormy passions and violent deeds, interludes of timeless bliss and tragic deaths. The southern family of the Mabinogi, that of Pwyll, has to counter with submission, self-restraint and patient persistence the antagonism of the mysterious powers of Annwfn, on the one hand, and of villein craftsmen on the other. Pwyll's son, Pryderi, finding himself duped by Gwydion, son of Dôn, wages war on Gwynedd and, like Mug and Eber in Ireland, is defeated and slain." - from Celtic Heritage: Ancient Tradition in Ireland and Wales by Alwyn Rees and Brinley Rees (1961) #fourbranches #mabinogi #pwyll #pryderi #annwfn #family

"Eventually, she stops and Pwyll succeeds in winning her hand in marriage. It is important to note in this section that there is a competitor for her favors and her hand, and that the successive marriage dates are one year apart, and, therefore on the same day as that on which Pwyll had assembled his feast." - from The Mabinogi and Other Medieval Welsh Tales ed. and tr. by Patrick K.
