Does anyone else hear threads of Nothing Else Matters in this song, I wonder if this wasn't used as inspiration for Metallica.... hmm

@acapae however, there are hardly any to none evidences that these stories are older than the first codex that contains them. I'm not saying that they can't be older, I'm just saying as long as we can't time travel, we can't know more than that they were written down in the Middle Ages and are at least that old.
And my main point is actually, that the character of Blodeuwedd, no matter when she was invented, is plainly fictional and not a reference to some ancient pagan goddess.

There was no mate good enough (if you like) for the rightful king, One was created for him. Unlike the Greek Pigmalion, or Galatia, this one was created especially for Llew Llaw, to love, but alas, she preferred his friend and rival. The Poet Robert Graves has a lot to say about her and her story. Even if it's become unpopular to credit Graves these days, we still cling the the interpretation he gave us. Aren't we smart?

@Garfielda89 Sleeping Beauty and the Swan Princess are characters in folk tales. Fairy tales and mythology are examples of different types of folk tales. How literally you choose to read them is a personal choice. Apart from those known to come from ancient civilisations, most folk tales are very old stories that were only formally written down and consolidated from the Mediaeval period onwards - this is not to say they were only created then however.

Please don't confuse Blodeuwedd with some sort of goddess or queen or something. She's a fictional character from the medieval Welsh literature. Nothing more or less. You could compare her to characters like Sleeping Beauty or the Swan Princess or something, just without the fairytale-part.
