Don ( Welsh pronunciation: [?doːn] ) is an ancestor figure in Welsh legend and literature. She is typically given as the mother of a group known as the "Children of Don", including Gwydion , Arianrhod , and Gilfaethwy , among many others. However, antiquarians of the early modern era generally considered Don a male figure. ^[1]

The House of Don [ edit ]

In astronomy [ edit ]

Llys Don (literally "The Court of Don") is the traditional Welsh name for the constellation Cassiopeia . At least three of Don's children also have astronomical associations: Caer Gwydion ("The Castle of Gwydion ") is the traditional Welsh name for the Milky Way , and Caer Arianrhod ("The Castle of Arianrhod ") being the constellation of Corona Borealis . ^[2]
