1 answer
In Leeming's book "The World of Myth: An Anthology," he briefly mentions the mythological figures of Danu and Don in the context of Ireland and Wales. Danu is a goddess in Irish mythology who is associated with the Tuatha Dé Danann, a group of deities who were believed to have once ruled Ireland. Don, on the other hand, is a Welsh goddess who is associated with the River Don and is the mother of Gwydion, a prominent figure in Welsh mythology. Both Danu and Don are considered powerful, divine figures in their respective mythologies.
