The Gods of the Celts

Drawing on classical Greek and Roman descriptions, later vernacular literature from Great Britain and Ireland, and archeological finds, surveys what is known and speculated about Celtic deities from the La Tene period through the Roman occupation. Among the topics are cults of the sun and sky, fertility and mother goddesses, animals and animalism, and symbolism and imagery. A compendium of established facts and opinions rather than an original contribution to the field. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
