Yr Hen Iaith (Lefel A) - Gwaith Argoed Llwyfain


Listen Later

Mae’r bennod hon yn trafod un o’r cerddi sy’n cael eu priodoli i’r bardd Taliesin. Ystyr y gair ‘gwaith’ yw ‘brwydr’, ac er nad ydym yn gwybod ble yn union oedd Argoed Llwyfain, mae’n sicr bod y lleoliad yn yr Hen Ogledd a bod y frwydr hon wedi digwydd tua diwedd y chweched ganrif. Roedd yn fuddugoliaeth i’r Brythoniaid ac mae’r bardd yn canmol eu harweinwyr, Urien a’i fab, Owain. Trafodwn y wedd ddramatig ar y gerdd wrth i’r bardd ail-greu sgwrs cyn y frwydr rhwng Owain a Fflamddwyn, arweinydd yr Eingl Sacsoniaid. Nodwn fod y gerdd waedlyd hon hefyd yn hoelio sylw ar swyddogaeth y bardd ei hun.

‘The Battle of Argoed Llwyfain’
This episode discusses one of the poems attributed to the bard Taliesin. The word ‘gwaith’ means ‘battle’, and although we don’t know where exactly Argoed Llwyfain was, it’s certain that the location was in the Old North and that this battle took place sometime towards the end of the sixth century. It was a victory for the Brittonic Celts and the bard praises their leaders, Urien and his son, Owain. We discuss the poem’s dramatic nature, as the bard recreates the discussion before the battle between Owain and Fflamddwyn, the leader of the Angl-Saxons. We note that this bloody poem also draws attention to the function of the poem himself.
