Kisah dan tradisi
Gwragedd Annwn (tunggal gwraig Annwn), juga disebut Dames of Elfin Land atau Wives of the Lower World, adalah peri perempuan cantik dalam folklor Welsh yang tinggal di bawah danau dan sungai. Mereka termasuk Tylwyth Teg, bangsa peri Welsh, dan kisah mereka terjalin dengan asal-usul sapi hitam Welsh. Kadang mereka naik ke dunia atas dan dapat dilihat orang biasa. Konon mereka diciptakan St. Patrick saat ia pergi dari Irlandia ke Wales menemui St. David: orang-orang Welsh yang mencacinya diubah menjadi ikan, sedangkan para perempuan menjadi peri danau. Tidak seperti selkie atau merrow, mereka tidak bercirikan makhluk laut, dan hanya tinggal di danau dan sungai seperti Llyn Barfog di Gwynedd dan Danau Crumlyn dekat Briton Ferry; mereka berpakaian hijau.
Gwragedd Annwn (singular gwraig Annwn), also called Dames of Elfin Land or Wives of the Lower World, are lovely female fairies of Welsh folklore living under lakes and rivers. They belong to the Tylwyth Teg, the Welsh fairy folk, and their story is bound up with the origin of the Welsh black cattle. At times they rise to the upper world and can be seen by ordinary people. They were supposedly made by St. Patrick on a journey from Ireland to Wales to see St. David: Welsh folk who abused him were turned into fish, and the women among them into lake fairies. Unlike selkies or merrows they have no sea-creature traits, living only in lakes and rivers such as Llyn Barfog in Gwynedd and Crumlyn Lake near Briton Ferry, and they dress in green.
