This figure once disguised a maid as his foster father's wife in order to foil Rhun's attempted seduction. In another story, this figure forced his rivals in the Court of Maelgwn to make baby noises, after which he shook the castle with wind summoned by a song he composed. As a boy, this figure worked alongside a blind man named Morda and once changed himself into a hare, a fish, and a grain of wheat. He gained his abilities after he spilled a potion intended to give Morfran wisdom onto his own thumb; later, he was eaten by, and reborn from, Morfran's mother, the witch Ceridwen. He was originally known as Gwion Bach, though Elphin gave him a name meaning "radiant brow". For 10 points, identify this legendary Welsh bard.
