"Celtic Folklore: Welsh and Manx (Volume 2 of 2)" by Sir John Rhys is a collection of folklore accounts and legends related to the Celtic traditions of Wales and the Isle of Man, likely written in the late 19th century. This volume delves into various stories, particularly focusing on tales of submersion and cataclysms that explain the origins of certain bodies of water, highlighting how villages were reportedly swallowed up by lakes and rivers as punishment for the misdeeds of their inhabitants. The book is rich in cultural history and provides insights into the ancient beliefs that shaped the identities of these Celtic communities. The opening of this volume presents several intriguing legends about submerged towns and lakes, each carrying ethical and moral dimensions. For instance, it recounts the story of the submerged city of Is and the fate of Cantre'r Gwaelod, which was believed to have been engulfed by the sea due to the vices of its people. These fictional accounts are deeply intertwined with historical events, folklore, and geographical features, as anecdotal evidence from local fishermen suggests that remnants of these towns might still be visible beneath the water's surface during calm days. Throughout the introduction, the narrative explores themes of vengeance, remorse, and the consequences of moral failings, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of the rich tapestry of Celtic mythology.
