Elements of Welsh mythology have appeared many times in popular culture. == Afanc == Susan Cooper's ''The Dark Is Rising'' sequence features an afanc which inhabits Llyn Barfog. It is driven away by the son of King Arthur. China Miéville's ''The Scar'' features a large afanc (spelled as avanc), bound by chains to tow the city of Armada across the oceans. The afanc in ''The Scar'' is of phenomenal size, so vast that to observers one vein on the creature's surface looks like a high ridge. The Afanc plays a leading role in episode three of ''Merlin'' - it's a creature made of earth and water which can be destroyed by fire and wind. It poisons Camelot's water supply, causing a supernatural plague. The Lord of the Rings Online features the afanc (here spelled as avanc) as a species of salamander-like beasts that dwell in and around bodies of water in Dunland. A tribe of swamp-dwelling Dunlendings subsist in part off the beasts, and call themselves the Avanc-luth. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Welsh mythology in popular culture」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
