"Blodeuwedd a'i Chosb - Blodeuwedd and her Curse"


When Math and Gwydion discovered what had happened to Lleu, they vowed to find him and punish Blodeuwedd. Gwydion eventually found Lleu in an old tree, in the form of an eagle. He was dying slowly and painfully. 

Gwydion managed to save his life. Meanwhile Blodeuwedd tried to run away. 

Gwydion caught up with her and said "I will not kill you. I will do worse. Namely I will release you in the form of a bird...and because of the shame you have brought upon Lleu Llaw Gyffes, you will never dare show your face in daylight for fear of all birds. And all the birds will be hostile towards you...You shall not lose your name however, but shall always be called Blodeuwedd."
