Amaethon or Amathaon is a son of the goddess Don in Welsh myth. His name means ‘divine plough-man,’ and he is believed to have been an agricultural god. Amaethon robbed Arawn of a hound, a roebuck, and a lapwing, causing the Cath Godeu -Battle of Trees. He also refused to help Culhwch in his quest to win Olwen in marriage to plough, sow, and reap a hill in one day. The modern Welsh word for farmer is Amaethwr, an obvious derivative of this god.
