ToggleMythologie des Cornouailles
La mythologie des Cornouailles ou mythologie cornique est la tradition folklorique et la mythologie du peuple cornique. Il se compose en partie de traditions folkloriques développées en Cornouailles et en partie de traditions développées par les Britanniques ailleurs avant la fin du premier millénaire, souvent partagées avec celles des peuples bretons et gallois. Certains d’entre eux contiennent des vestiges de la mythologie de la Grande-Bretagne préchrétienne.
Il y a beaucoup de folklore traditionnel à Cornouailles, souvent des contes de géants, de sirènes, de Bucca, de piskies ou de «pobel vean» (petites personnes.) Ceux-ci sont toujours populaires aujourd’hui, avec de nombreux événements accueillant un «droll teller» pour raconter les histoires. Le conte de fées Jack the Giant Killer se déroule à Cornouailles. De nombreuses premières légendes britanniques associent le roi Arthur à Cornouailles, plaçant sa ville natale à Tintagel, la cour du roi Marc de Cornouailles, oncle de Tristan et mari d’Iseult, les plus célèbres amants de Cornouailles.
