`The springtime feast of #Beltane was dedicated in parts of #Wales to the goddess #Creiddylad, in whose honor a great contest was held between two contenders for her hand, #Gwythyr fab Greidawl and #Gwynn ap Nudd. Such May contests between winter and summer are known in other Celtic lands as well. Creiddylad was transformed into Cordelia, daughter of Lear in Shakespeare’s play, but in #Welsh #mythology she was not the daughter of Llyr the sea god but of the the hero Llud. Shakespeare, who drew on the works of Geoffrey of Monmouth in writing his play, confused the two.`
