Summary
Celtic myths and tales
Mythical invasions of Ireland, mystical kingdoms, warriors, giants, creatures from the underworld and magic, are the fantastic ingredients of Celtic legend. Since they told their own stories in the ancient way, through oral tradition, we understand the traditions of these proud people through the records of their mortal enemies, the Romans, but they still thrive, so bright and strong even today.
On these pages you will find stories about giants, ancient spells, spirits and fairies, about the people of the sea and trees. All the major legends of the Irish invasions, the Ulster Cycle and the Fenian Cycle are found alongside the stories of the Mabinogion and the secret stories of the Scottish folk and fairy tales. From the tragedy of the children of Lir to the arrival of Finn Mac Cumail, Gord the Fiddler to the Fox.
The latest title in the wonderful, comprehensive Gothic Fantasy series of the STANEK publishing house focuses on the ancient,
epic origins of modern fantasy in the myths and tales of the Celts.
Celtic Myths and stories form an important part of European cultural heritage, and the Celts, an ancient people from the area of Central and Western Europe,
left us a diverse legacy of mythological stories. These stories often reflect the wealth of Celtic society, the connection with nature,
religious beliefs and heroic and magical elements.
