Amaethon

/əˈmeɪθɒn/ noun

Definition

In Welsh mythology, a god or divine figure associated with agriculture and husbandry.

Etymology

From Welsh 'Amaethon,' composed of 'amaethu' (to plow/farm) + '-on' (masculine suffix). The name appears in medieval Welsh manuscripts and represents pre-Christian religious beliefs.

Kelly Says

Amaethon barely survived Christianity in Wales because he got written into medieval manuscripts as a king instead of a god—medieval monks trying to preserve mythology had to disguise the pagan deities as mere historical figures to avoid getting in trouble.
