Description:
This new work offers an exhaustive survey of one of the world's most fertile and exciting mythological traditions. It covers the persons, themes, concepts, places, and creatures of Celtic mythology, in all its ancient and modern traditions, in 4,000 entries ranging from brief definitions to extended essays on major tale cycles. An introductory essay explains who the Celts were, explores the history of the Celtic revival, and examines the meaning and role of mythology and tradition. An invaluable pronunciation guide for the major Celtic languages, a topic index of entries, and thorough cross-references within Celtic mythology and to other mythologies such as Classical and Norse enable the reader to see the relationship between Celtic mythology, later Irish literature, and other literary and mythological traditions.
