These stories reflect the values and beliefs of ancient Welsh society. Key figures in Welsh mythology include King Arthur, a legendary hero associated with the Arthurian legends, and Merlin, a powerful wizard. Other notable characters are Pwyll, Rhiannon, and Bran the Blessed, each contributing to the diverse narratives that shape Wales' cultural heritage.
