Women and goddesses in The Mabinogi - exploring The Four Branches
Starting in early November . . .
In this series we will look at the treatment of women, the male/female balance of power, mythological background, symbolism, and the possible intent of the compilers of the medieval text.
Participants need to be familiar with the text of The Four Branches, however it is less than 100 pages, total, when printed in standard paperback form, so this should not be a huge burden of reading. Advice will be given ahead of time about good online and printed sources for reading the material. (Or you can check that out now, at this link.)
Classes will be run using the Zoom meeting platform, which is free for participants.
