SPOILS OF THE ABYSS The swineherds of Pwll, the Noble head of Annwn, were busied with their swine... Because of the sight which came to them they went to Pwll as he sat on the rock of Annwn with Amech-the-Herb, and his son Pryderi, Lord of Underhill, alongside: about him were his druids and leeches as was fitting for such a mighty lord.

The second part of Gwern-Sun-Hair’s Hero Tale, in which Tyrnonos sets out, with his armies, to retrieve his abducted son, from Pwll, the father of Pryderi in the shadowy realms Annwn, and exonorate his now shamed mistress. This nightmarish journey to the phantom court includes a grotesque parody of the discovery of the life giving vessel and its myth, and a burlesque of the coronation ritual. It ends with the failure of the expedition, and the death of Tyrnonos |
