The Winning of Olwen

In the tale of Culhwch and Olwen, I appear at the head of Arthur's court and described as the most handsome man in the world and the wielder of magic lance. Lucky for me! I was called to accompany Culhwch on his quest to take Olwen's hand in marriage. As I traveled wit Culhwch, I had to complete all the impossible tasks given to him by Ysbaddaden. One of these tasks was to help Cei and Goreu kill Wrnach the Giant. Also since Culhwch can't do anything for himself, I rescued Mabon ap Modron from his imprisonment, captured the cauldron of Diwrnach during Arthur's attack on Ireland and hunted for Twrch Trwyth. I am just happy that I humiliated Ysbaddaden and completed all his tasks that I thought I never could do.
