Celtic Mythology 1; History of the Celts of Ireland, Wales, Cornwall and Brittany

The Celtic peoples spread across much of Europe in the course of the Iron Age, but by Roman times the might of the legions and the advance of the Germanic tribes had driven them Westward. There they found a permanent refuge on the continent’s edge, in Brittany and Cornwall, but above all in Ireland and Wales.

All the evidence suggests that the Celts had an unusually rich mythology, but unfortunately contemporary sources are hard to come by. Our knowledge of the myths has had to be pieced together from archaeological findings or the reports of outsiders, or else from the work of authors writing many centuries later in the Christian era. The patchwork of narrative that has emerged is often infuriatingly vague and hard to follow, but also hugely stimulating in its poetic exuberance and narrative power.
