Glythfyr Ledewig

Glythvyr Ledewig, Glythwyr

Father of Arthur’s warrior Garanhon.

Glythfyr owned two special hounds. Arthur sought the hounds while helping the warrior Culhwch complete his forty tasks. Curiously, however, the chief giant Ysbaddaden, who assigned Culhwch’s tasks, did not ask for these dogs.
