Family
Gwyn is the son of Nudd (otherwise known as Lludd) and is consequently grandson to Beli Mawr. His siblings include Edern, a warrior who appears in a number of Arthurian texts, and Owain ap Nudd, who is mentioned briefly in Geraint and Enid. Gwyn's relationship with his sister (and lover) Creiddylad is described in Culhwch and Olwen. Through his father, Gwyn's uncles and aunts include Arianrhod, Llefelys, Penarddun, Afallach and Caswallawn. As a result, he is related both to the House of Llŷr (through his paternal aunt Penarddun) and to the House of Dôn, through his grandfather Beli.

Famous quotes containing the word family:
“Fathers should be neither seen nor heard. That is the only proper basis for family life.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
“No wealth can buy the requisite leisure, freedom, and independence which are the capital in this profession. It comes only by the grace of God. It requires a direct dispensation from Heaven to become a walker. You must be born into the family of the Walkers. Ambulator nascitur, non fit.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“I am the family face;
Flesh perishes, I live on,
Projecting trait and trace
Through time to times anon,
And leaping from place to place
Over oblivion.”
—Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)
