In Celtic
mythology, Mabon ("young man") was the son of Modron. He was a hunter god that
was stolen from his mother three days after his birth. He then lived in Annwn
until he was rescued by Culhwch. Because of his time in Annwn, Mabon stayed a
young adult forever.
He later assisted Culhwch in his search for Olwen. Culhwch had been arranged to
marry his own stepsister, but he refused. Angry, his stepomother cursed him to
marry no one but Olwen. Olwen's father, Ysbaddaden, was a vicious monster that
would die if he was separated from his daughter. After many trials and
tribulations, Culwch succeeded and gained Ysbaddaden's powers and life.
