Packet 7: Bonus 19

A figure in this text inspired the Fleetwood Mac song “Angel,” after Stevie Nicks realised that an earlier song she wrote was unintentionally about her. For 10 points each:
[10h] Name this epic in which Rhiannon is accused of killing and eating her son by women who smear puppy blood on her face. Her son, Pryderi, is the only figure to appear in all four of this epic’s “branches.”
ANSWER: Mabinogion [or the Four Branches of the Mabinogi]
[10m] The Mabinogion collects mythology from this country. Charlotte Guest’s translation of the Mabinogion also included a much later legend about this country’s ancient poet Taliesin.
ANSWER: Wales [or Cymru; prompt on UK or Great Britain or the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland]
[10e] Rhiannon is considered the Welsh goddess of these animals, which Taliesin used to help Elffin find buried gold. In Norse myth, Loki gives birth to an eight-legged one of these animals named Sleipnir that serves as Odin’s steed.
ANSWER: horses [accept steeds]
