Publisher's Synopsis
The Gaulish Pantheon is a book written by John Rhys that provides a comprehensive overview of the gods and goddesses worshipped by the ancient Gauls. The Gaulish people were a Celtic tribe that inhabited what is now modern-day France, Belgium, and parts of Germany during the Iron Age. Rhys delves into the mythology and religious practices of the Gauls, focusing on their pantheon of deities, including Lugus, Esus, Taranis, and Epona. The book covers the origins of these gods, their roles in Gaulish society, and the rituals and festivals dedicated to them. Rhys also explores the influence of Roman and Christian religions on Gaulish mythology and how it evolved over time.
