The Celts were one of the great founding cultures of European
civilization. Their origins can be traced back to the second millennium
BC. The Celts’ original homeland was near the Rhine, Rhone, and Danube
Rivers, in what is now Germany. By the first millennium BC, however,
the Celts began a massive expansion across Europe…and their traditional
stories reflect their movements. In Celtic Mythology, author
Catherine Bernard has collected some of the most important myths of the
Celtic world and presents them with an authentic appreciation for their
unique characters, landscapes, and philosophies. Illustrations and
expert commentary are included to promote further understanding of this
distinctive group.
