Beli, Beli Mawr [W, big, bright; Beli the great]. An ancestor deity who established several royal lines in Wales. Although he is probably an adaptation of the earlier deity
Belenus, he has sometimes been identified with the shadowy historical figure Beli ab Elfin/Elffin (d. 721). Beli Mawr is mentioned several times in the
Mabinogi and is cited as the husband of
Dôn and father of
Arianrhod and
Caswallan. In
Cyfranc Lludd a Llefelys his sons are named as
Lludd and
Llefelys. The Arthurian figure Pelle appears to have borrowed much from Beli Mawr. See Rachel Bromwich,
Trioedd Ynys Prydain, 2nd edn. (Cardiff, 1978), 281, 545. See also
BILE.
