She is the mother of Arianrhod, Gwydion, Gilfaethwy, Gofannon and Amaethon. Patrick K. Ford asserts that she is the equivalent of the Irish Danu and of the Gaulish goddess "whose name is preserved in the river name Danube (Donau)". |

| has gloss | ita: Dôn (pronuncia gallese ) è una dea madre della mitologia gallese. Non svolge tuttavia un ruolo diretto nei racconti dei "Quattro Rami del Mabinogion", anche se molti personaggi di questo ciclo le sono collegati. Viene indicata come la madre di Arianrhod, Gwydion, Gilfaethwy, Gofannon e Amaethon. Patrick K. Ford afferma che equivale alla dea irlandese Danu e a quella divinità femminile gallica il cui nome si conserva in quello del fiume Danubio (Donau). Il teonimo deriva probabilmente da una radice celtica o proto-celtica *Dānu , dal significato di "fiume, acqua corrente". |
