Beth sy'n dod i'r brig wrth feddwl am elyrch? Eu harddwch mewn golygfeydd domestig, ei statws cadwriaethol, eu cysylltiad brenhinol, ac efallai'r ymadrodd 'swan song'. Mae'r gyfrol hon yn archwilio tarddiadau'r syniadau hyn, gan graffu ar yr alarch canoloesol ym myd natur, llenyddiaeth glasurol a dehongliadau canoloesol.

English Description: What comes to mind when we think of swans? Likely their beauty in domestic settings, their preserved status, their association with royalty, and possibly the phrase ‘swan song’. This book explores the emergence of each of these ideas, starting with an examination of the medieval swan in natural history, exploring classical writings and their medieval interpretations.
