Gods and Goddesses of Celtic Mythology
Evidence of the Celtic Pantheon is available through early literary record and iconic, archaeological evidence. Graceo-Roman literature and vernacular Cetic literature detail the construction of the gods and goddesses of Celtic mythology and the importance of belief in the supernatural and the ‘otherworld’. Archaeological and iconic evidence detailing proliferous ritual and taboo, give an indication of the roles Celtic gods play in pagan Celtic society.
The mythology and customs of the Celtic people were described in various detail in both Greek and Latin texts. ... Writing for a Roman audience, Caesar recognised that a list of Celtic gods would be meaningless to readers and so aligned the Celtic deities with those in Rome. ... Celtic society was based largely on oral tradition and hence the recording of Celtic tradition in the written form was significantly delayed.
