Dylan (or Dylan Eil Ton; sea in Welsh) is a sea-god in Welsh mythology, a son of Arianrhod and Gwydion. He is sometimes said to be a god of darkness.
He was the first of Arianrhod's twins to be born. Since the moment of his birth the golden-haired Dylan was able to swim in the ocean like a fish, and he therefore received the epithet Eil Ton (Son of the Wave). His twin brother was Llew Llaw Gyffes.
He was killed by his uncle, Govannon, who didn't know who he was. It was said that his death caused all the waves of the sea to mourn his loss.
