This is an enchantingly told collection of the stirring sagas of gods and goddesses, fabulous beasts, strange creatures, and such heroes as Cuchulain, Fingal, and King Arthur from the ancient Celtic world. Included are popular myths and legends from all six Celtic cultures of Western Europe—Irish, Scots, Manx, Welsh, Cornish, and Breton. Here for the modern reader are the rediscovered tales of cattle raids, tribal invasions, druids, duels, and doomed love that have been incorporated into, and sometimes distorted by, European mythology and even Christian figures. For example, there is the story of Lugh of the Long Hand, one of the greatest gods in the Celtic pantheon, who was later transformed into the faerie craftsman Lugh-Chromain, and finally demoted to the lowly Leprechaun. Celtic Myths and Legends also retells the story of the classic tragic love story of Tristan and Iseult (probably of Cornish origin—there was a real King Mark and a real Tristan in Cornwall) and the original tale of King Arthur, a Welsh leader who fought against the invading Anglo-Saxons. In the hands of Peter Berresford Ellis, the myths sung by long-dead Celtic bards come alive to enchant the modern reader. "The casual reader will be best entertained by ... the legends themselves ...colored with plenty of swordplay, ... quests, shape-shiftings, and druidic sorcery."—Publishers Weekly

Celtic myths were born in the ancient rituals of the British Isles, a richly storied tapestry of heroes and giants, leprechauns and gnomes, warlocks and magicians, kings and princesses. This collection is an introduction to the world of Irish and Gaelic myth and legend. Charles Squire, a well-known author and scholar, meticulously uncovers the original stories that have been embedded for centuries in a labyrinth of folklore, history, and storytelling. He presents many of the intriguing tales that later gave rise to pageantry, romance, and high drama. Here are the original exploits of King Arthur of Camelot and the Knights of the Round Table. Even the Knights' search for the Holy Grail is drawn from the Celtic Arthur's quest into Hades for a magic cauldron of inspiration, poetry, and fertility. This collection also reveals the lesser-known heroes, gods and mortals of Irish myth, including the charismatic Lugh--carpenter, warrior, harpist, poet, sorcerer, physician, and even inventive chess player--who so impressed the reigning gods that they offered him the throne; the sons of Tuiren, whose epic seven-year journey to avenge a murder foreshadowed the adventures of Ulysses; the beautiful maiden Emer and the heroic warrior Cuchulainn, whose passionate love inspired the chivalrous romances of medieval Europe; and the vulnerable King Lear and his daughter Cordelia, whose powerful bond was recreated in one of Shakespeare's greatest plays. Just as the physical remains of Celtic legend still stand in such places as Stonehenge, so, too, do these early myths of Irish and Gaelic gods and heroes still live in modern literature. As Charles Squire Writes, "In the West of England, in Wales, Scotland, and especially in legend-haunted Ireland, the hills and dales still keep memories of the ancient gods of the ancient race."--Adapted from dust jacket

Myths and Legends of the Celts is a fascinating and wide-ranging introduction to the mythology of the peoples who inhabited the northwestern fringes of Europe - from Britain and the Isle of Man to Gaul and Brittany. Drawing on recent historical and archaeological research, as well as literary and oral sources, the guide looks at the gods and goddesses of Celtic myth; at the nature of Celtic religion, with its rituals of sun and moon worship; and at the druids who served society as judges, diviners and philosophers. It also examines the many Celtic deities who were linked with animals and such natural phenomena as rivers and caves, or who later became associated with local Christian saints. And it explores in detail the rich variety of Celtic myths: from early legends of King Arthur to the stories of the Welsh Mabinogi, and from tales of heroes including Cúchulainn, Fionn mac Cumhaill and the warrior queen Medb to tales of shadowy otherworlds - the homes of spirits and fairies. What emerges is a wonderfully diverse and fertile tradition of myth making that has captured the imagination of countless generations, introduced and explained here with compelling insight.
