Sinossi
Explore the living world of Celtic myths, tracing old legends as they transformed through romance and Christianity into lasting stories.
This scholarly but readable volume surveys Celtic mythology from Ireland and Wales and, where possible, connects insular myths with continental roots. It explains how myths were handed down, altered, or lost when Roman influence and later Christian thought reshaped belief. The book also discusses how the myths survive today in folklore, verse, and tradition, offering readers a clear window into ancient Celtic thought and storytelling.
- Clear explanations of how Celtic myths evolved and why they differ between regions
- Insights into major gods, heroes, and mythic cycles without spoilers of every tale
- Discussion of sources, transmission, and the cultural context that shaped the myths
- Illustrative notes on how old beliefs persist in modern folklore and customs
Ideal for readers of mythology, folklore, and early European history who want a grounded, accessible overview of Celtic myth and its enduring legacy.
