Meer over het boek
Celtic mythology speaks of gods and giants, as well as the humans who opposed them, of warriors like Cuchulainn and the Knights of the Red Branch, of Fionn and the Fianna, as well as lovers like Deirdre and Naoise, Diarmuid and Gráinne. Famous legends from Celtic mythology are retold and explained for the modern reader. Everything one should know about Celtic mythology - from A to Z, the people, places, beliefs, and traditions of the ancient Celts. A rich collection of oral and written traditions that survived the rise of Christianity and inspired numerous writers, who gifted us with famous stories, such as that of Arthur and the Knights. This fascinating book shows how Celtic mythology survived a time when literacy was forbidden and how it developed in the Christian era, with legends deeply connected to classical Greek and Roman mythology.
