About this listen
Today Ross and Laura read a tale from The Mabinogion called Culhwch & Olwen (or, by Lady Charlotte Guest's less sexually progressive rendering, "How Kilhwch won Olwen"). This story is notable for being one of the oldest surviving tales of Arthur—though not as you've ever seen him before. There are no swords in stones or lakes and no holy grails. Instead, you'll find something completely bananas. Expect lots of butchered Welsh names, Sir Cai getting pissy over a poem, salmon with arms, and lots of Medieval sarcasm.
