Overall aims and purpose
Mwynhau a gwerthfawrogi rhai o gyfraniadau rhyddiaith pwysicaf yr iaith Gymraeg i lenyddiaeth Ewrop.
Course content
Mae'r modiwl hwn yn cyflwyno'r chwedlau 'brodorol' Cymraeg, sef rhai o gampweithiau llenyddiaeth yr Oesau Canol yn Ewrop gyfan. Bydd rhai o'r straeon eisoes yn gyfarwydd ichi - megis Pedair Cainc y Mabinogi a "Culhwch ac Olwen" - a chewch archwilio'n fanylach i'w hynodion llenyddol a syniadol.
Byddwn yn edrych ar y berthynas rhwng themâu'r chwedlau a chymdeithas yr Oesau Canol: sut maen nhw'n perthyn i'w cyfnod; a oes yma feirniadaeth o werthoedd y Gymru ganoloesol; beth yw eu gwerth fel propaganda wleidyddol). Wrth ofyn cwestiynau ynghylch diben a phwrpas y straeon, byddwn yn ystyried y berthynas rhwng 'myth' a 'chwedl' , a taflwn gipolwg ar y berthynas rhwng y deunydd hyn ac eiddo traddodiadau 'Celtaidd' eraill megis llenyddiaeth Iwerddon.
Wrth ofyn paham mae'r chwedlau hyn wedi aros yn berthnasol ac yn boblogaidd dros y canrifoedd, cawn gyfle i astudio gwreiddiau'r traddodiadau Ewropeaidd am y Brenin Arthur.
