Culhwch is a hero in the model of Heracles—just one difference: he's Welsh. He embarked on a series of quests with his BFFs, King Arthur and his knights, in order to win the hand of a fair maiden, Olwen. His wifey is the love of his life, but Culhwch also adores heading out on the open road to beat up a monster or two. From hunting down boars to rescuing a princess, Culhwch has done it all.
