Govannon

Encyclopedia : G : GO : GOV : Govannon

In the Welsh mythology, Gofannon or Govannon was a smith and the son of the goddess Dôn. He killed his nephew, Dylan Eil Ton, not knowing who he was. One of the tasks given to Culhwch if he were to win the hand of Olwen was to get Gofannon to sharpen Amaethon's plough.

His Irish equivalent was Goibniu, the cognate Gallo-Roman god was Gobannus.
