Book Description
Were the Celts of ancient and medieval mythology bloodthirsty headhunters or a spiritual people in tune with nature?
Readers of this solid introduction to Celtic mythology will find the Celtic world both fascinating and surprisingly complex.
Topics range from the ancient Druids encountered by Julius Caesar, to animal deities, to King Arthur, to mythic battles in pre-Anglo Saxon Ireland (including the famous Ulster hero cycle). Main chapters cover the following:
An introduction to Celtic history, archaeology, and languages, including what medieval manuscripts can tell us about the divine, semidivine, and magical figures of Celtic mythology
A survey of the mythic Celtic past, present, and future, including key developments in the scholarly study of Celtic mythology
An A-to-Z of the key mythological figures, concepts, and events
A guide to the vast wealth of print, website, video, and CD-ROM resources. A full glossary and subject index conclude this volume.
