Who Were the Celts?
Author: Kevin Duffy
Publisher: Barnes & Noble Publishing
ISBN: 9780760716083
Category : Celts
Languages : en
Pages : 282
Book Description
The ancient Celts were exceptional in their preference for goddesses over gods. Yet this may not be surprising in a people who had female rulers, invented chivalry, and were ahead of their time in having equal rights for men and women. While the Romans created a goddess of sewers (Cloacina), the Celts had goddesses for things they revered, such as the forest, and horses -- and even war.
