The Welsh collection of stories called '''The Mabinogion''' is one of the major surviving bodies of [[Celtic Mythology|Welsh myths]]. The stories in their modern forms are derived from two [[Older Than Print]] medieval Welsh manuscripts, the [https://web.archive.org/web/20080715043644/http://www.llgc.org.uk/index.php?id=whitebookofrhydderchpeniart White Book of Rhydderch] and the [http://image.ox.ac.uk/show-all-openings?collection=jesus&manuscript=ms111 Red Book of Hergest], along with a collection of smaller texts, but those are simply the oldest ''written'' versions of stories that are based on older oral legends; some motifs and plots can be traced back to the early Iron Age (1st millenium BCE). They are the product of a highly developed narrative tradition, both written and oral.
