Taliésin was a Bard who illustrated Breton poetry; son of Omis, he was considered the Prince of the Bards, the Prophets and even the Druids of the West.
The legend of Taliesin
How would he be born? It's a whole legend than the story of this birth, here is a brief analysis.
One day when a little dwarf, a Spirit, Gwion, was watching over the mystical vase containing the precious water of Divination, three hot drops of this water fell on the dwarf's hand, so he suddenly carried it to his stuffy ; from then on the future and the mysteries of the world were unveiled to him. The protective Goddess of this water, very irritated to see this dwarf in possession of the gift of divination, wanted to put him to death, but he fled and, as he possessed science, he metamorphosed successively into a hare, a fish and as a bird, while, on her side, the Goddess, to reach her, took the form of a greyhound, an otter and a hawk.
Gwion having had the bad idea to turn into a grain of wheat to hide in the middle of a big heap, the Goddess changed into a black hen and with her piercing eye distinguished perfectly, in the middle of the heap of wheat, Grain-Gwion and swallowed it; but by this fact she became pregnant and, at the end of nine months, she gave birth to a very beautiful child, it was Taliesin.
Taliésin was a great enemy of the popular poetry propagated by Christianity to discredit the Druidic Bards. Indeed, to establish itself in Gaul, Christianity was not afraid to also create false Bards, poets without any value. These men without talent, without tradition, without science, mimicked the real Bards, but they did not have, far from it, their value, they were hardly more than minstrels, a kind of village figaros.
