A thought on reading and meaning
February 22, 2016
If you'd like to hear selections of the Rig Veda in Sanskrit, Agamemnon in Ancient Greek, and the Mabinogion in Welsh, here is a link for each:
Agamemnon, Parodos and Hymn to Zeus
Mabinogion, Pwyll Pendefig Dyfed
And some additional resources for the Mabinogion:
An excellent animated version of selections - "Mabinogi" on Youtube
Welsh pronunciation of names - Chwedloniaeth Gymreig
More on pronunciations from CSANA
For our upcoming sessions, please focus your readings on:
The first four stories of the Mabinogion - Pwyll Lord of Dyved, Branwen Daughter of Llyr, Manawydan Son of Llyr, and Math Son of Mathonwy
For the 1001 Nights, we will focus on the stories covering the Prologue and Nights 1-38. If you're feeling ambitious, continue with Nights 153-69, and add the story of Ali Baba.
