The waves lament his death, and, as they dash against the shore, seek to avenge it. His grave is "where the wave makes a sullen sound," but popular belief identifies him with the waves, and their noise as they press into the Conwy is his dying groan. Not only is he Eil Ton, "son of the wave," but also Eil Mor, "son of the sea." He is thus a local sea-god, and like <a href="/wiki/Manannan" class="mw-redirect" title="Manannan">Manannan</a> identified with the waves, and yet separate from them, since they mourn his death.
