ENT_WEL_DON,PER_CEL_IRON_AGE Dôn ENT_WEL_DON Celtic Iron Age PER_CEL_IRON_AGE low The name Dôn has been compared to Irish Danu and potentially to Gaulish divine-mother figures; if the comparison holds, the divine-mother prototype has Iron Age currency across the Celtic world; confidence is low because the equation of Dôn with Danu is debated and because the Irish Danu herself barely appears in the texts (she too is known primarily through her children's epithets) SRC_GREEN_CELTIC_GODS reviewed
ENT_WEL_DON,PER_CEL_MEDIEVAL_WELSH Dôn ENT_WEL_DON Medieval Welsh PER_CEL_MEDIEVAL_WELSH high Present as the ancestral mother in the Fourth Branch of the Mabinogi; the "Children of Dôn" are the divine family of the Fourth Branch SRC_MABINOGION reviewed
