`#Dylan sometimes bears the epithet Ail Ton, “son of wave” or Ail Mor, “son of the sea,” and so he has been interpreted as being #Arianrhod’s child with a sea god or merman. (Arianrhod‘s second child, born on the same occasion, was LLeu Llaw Gyffes.) Certainly the sea was Dylan’s element, for he swam like a fish and took great pleasure in feeling the waves under his body. But he was killed by his uncle, the rapist Gilfaethwy.`
