'''Mabon ap Modron''' is a prominent figure from [[Welsh-language literature|Welsh]] and wider [[Brittonic languages|Brythonic]] literature and [[Welsh mythology|mythology]], the son of [[Modron]] and a member of [[King Arthur|Arthur's]] war band. Both he and his mother were likely deities in origin, descending from a divine mother–son pair. He is often equated with the [[Kingdom of Dyfed|Demetian]] hero [[Pryderi|Pryderi fab Pwyll]], and may be associated with the minor Arthurian character '''Mabon ab Mellt'''.<ref>Davies, Sioned.
