About This Book

Een overzicht presenteert de oorsprong, oude geschiedenis en godsdienst van de Keltische wereld, gevolgd door mythische verhalen over invallen en de vestiging van volkeren in Ierland. Vertellingen zijn geordend in cycli — waaronder de koningen van Milesië, de Ulster-cyclus, het Ossiaanse materiaal en zeereizen zoals die van Maeldūn — en omvatten ook legenden van buurstammen. Daarnaast komen goden en mythische huizen aan bod en verschijnen fragmenten uit Arthuriaanse tradities, met achtergrondcommentaar uit etnologie en literatuur. Aantekeningen en illustraties belichten rituelen, megalithische symbolen en volksmotieven.
