Myths and Legends of the Celts is a fascinating and wide-ranging
introduction to the mythology of the peoples who inhabited the
northwestern fringes of Europe - from Britain and the Isle of Man
to Gaul and Brittany. Drawing on recent historical and
archaeological research, as well as literary and oral sources, the
guide looks at the gods and goddesses of Celtic myth; at the nature
of Celtic religion, with its rituals of sun and moon worship; and
at the druids who served society as judges, diviners and
philosophers. It also examines the many Celtic deities who were
linked with animals and such natural phenomena as rivers and caves,
or who later became associated with local Christian saints. And it
explores in detail the rich variety of Celtic myths: from early
legends of King Arthur to the stories of the Welsh Mabinogi, and
from tales of heroes including Cuchulainn, Fionn mac Cumhaill and
the warrior queen Medb to tales of shadowy otherworlds - the homes
of spirits and fairies. What emerges is a wonderfully diverse and
fertile tradition of myth making that has captured the imagination
of countless generations, introduced and explained here with
compelling insight.
