Govannon

Govannon was the Welsh counterpart of the Danann smith god of Goibhniu. Govannon was the master smith and god of skills.

Govannon was the son of Beli and Don. Govannon was also the brother of Amathon, Aranrhod, Gilvaethwy, Gwydyon and Nudd.

Govannon was the uncle of Lleu and Dylan. He was responsible for the death of Dylan, possibly out of envy of his nephew’s ability to swim like a fish.

Govannon’s name appeared as one of the quests that the giant Ysbaddaden had set for Culhwch.
