MaponosIn Celtic mythology, Maponos or Maponus ("divine son") was a god of youth known mainly in northern Britain but also in Gaul. In Roman times he was equated with Apollo. The Welsh mythological figure Mabon ap Modron is certainly derived from Maponos, who by analogy we may assume was the son of the mother-goddess Dea Matrona. The Irish god Aengus, also known as the Mac g ("young son"), is probably related to Maponos, as are the Arthurian characters Mabuz and Mabonagrain.
