Celtic mythology
Celtic mythology is the
mythology of
Celtic polytheism, apparently the
religion of the
Iron Age Celts. Like other
Iron Age Europeans, the early Celts maintained a
polytheistic mythology and religious structure. Among Celtic peoples in close contact with Rome, such as the
Gauls and
Celtiberians, their mythology did not survive the
Roman empire, their subsequent conversion to
Christianity, and the loss of their Celtic languages. Ironically, it is through contemporary Roman and Christian sources that what we do know of their beliefs has come down to us. However, those Celtic peoples who maintained either their political or linguistic identities (such as the
Gaels and
Brythonic tribes of the
British Isles) did transmit at least vestigial remnants of the mythologies of their Iron Age forebears, which were often recorded in written form during the
Middle Ages.
