From gods, heroes, and monsters to Druids, sorcerers, and talking
animals, Celtic Myths explores every aspect of Irish and Welsh
myths in this appealing and authoritative guide. Besides vividly
retelling the tales, Miranda Aldhouse-Green brings her expertise in
the archaeology of the Iron Age and particularly shamanism to bear
on the mythical world she describes, with evidence as diverse as
the Gundestrup Cauldron and the famous bog bodies. Starting with a
discussion of how myths are transmitted and by whom, Aldhouse-Green
continues with an account of Irish and Welsh myths, their key
actors and motifs, and themes such as heroes, animals, women,
environment, and the Otherworld. The book concludes with a look at
the influence of monastic chroniclers on the tales, which they
preserved and adapted. Boxed features, quotes from primary texts
and contemporary sources, two-color illustrations, photographs, and
drawings all come together to create a comprehensive guide for
anyone interested in Celtic history or the history of myth as well
as anyone who simply loves a good story.
