The Heroic Elegies and Other Pieces of Llywarc Hen, Prince of the Cumbrian Britons (1792)

""The Heroic Elegies and Other Pieces of Llywarc Hen, Prince of the Cumbrian Britons"" is a collection of ancient Welsh poetry translated into English by William Owen Pughe in 1792. The poems are attributed to Llywarc Hen, a sixth-century Welsh prince and bard, and were likely composed in the early Middle Ages. The collection includes elegies mourning the loss of fellow warriors, odes to nature and the seasons, and praise for the bravery and honor of Welsh heroes. The poems are notable for their vivid imagery, complex allusions to Welsh mythology and history, and their insight into the values and culture of medieval Wales.
