Math (Son of Mathonwy)

While Pryderi rules Dyfed in South Wales, Gwynedd in North Wales is ruled by Math, son of Mathonwy. Her feet must be held by a virgin, except while she is at war. Math's nephew (Gilfaethwy) is in love with Goewin, who is currently holding his feet, and the brother of Gilfaethwy (Gwydion) cheats Math to go to war against Pryderi, so that Gilfaethwy can have access to it. Gwydion kills Pryderi in hand-to-hand combat, and Gilfaethwy rapes Goewin. Math marries Goewin to save her from dishonor and banishes Gwydion and Gilfaethwy, transforming them into a pair of pregnant deer, then sows and then wolfs. At age three they are restored to their human form and return. Math needs a new "footrest," and Gwydion proposes to his sister (Arianrhod), but when Math magically checks his virginity, he gives birth to two children. One (Dylan) goes directly to the sea. The other child is raised by Gwydion, but Arianrhod tells him that he will never have a name or weapons unless she gives them to him, and refuses to do so. However, Gwydion tricks her into calling him Llew Llaw Gyffes and giving her guns. Then she tells him that he will never have a woman or descendants on earth, so Gwydion and Math make him a woman of flowers, called Blodeuwedd. But Blodeuwedd falls in love with a hunter named Gronw Pebyr and plans to kill Llew. Blodeuwedd deceives Llew to reveal to him about the means by which he can be assassinated, but when Gronw tries to commit the act, Llew escapes transformed into an eagle. Gwydion finds Llew and transforms him back into his human form, and turns Blodeuwedd into an owl. Gronw offers to compensate Llew, but Llew refuses and insists on returning the blow that was given to him. Gronw begs to hide behind a rock when he tries to kill him. Llew accepts. Kill Gronw with his spear, which is thrown so hard that it penetrates him through the stone behind which he was hiding.
