Question

Arthur and his men failed to obtain even one of these animals from Drystan, one of the three “most powerful” keepers of these animals of the Island of Britain. One of these animals gave birth to a grain of wheat and a bee, (15[2])then a grain of (15[1])barley at fields that became renowned for these goods. That one of these animals tended to by Coll also bore a wolf and an eagle. Rhiannon and Pryderi (-5[1])vanished after following one of these animals into a castle with a golden bowl. One of these animals named Henwen gave birth to the Cath Palug. (15[1])After laying waste to Ireland and Dyfed (“DUH-vid”), one of these animals was driven into the sea from (*) Cornwall. Gwydion incited a war by stealing these animals from Pryderi. Ysbaddaden (“EES-buh-DA-den”) insisted on a shave using the comb and scissors stuck between the ears of one of these animals. (10[1]) For 10 points, Arthur assisted Culhwch (“KEEL-hookh”) in hunting Twrch (10[1])Trwyth (“toork truh-ith”), who was what kind of animal? ■END■
