Ogmios
Ogmios was a
Gaulish deity, who
Lucian records was depicted as a bald old man with a bow and club leading an apparently happy band of men with chains attached to their ears from his tongue. This is thought by some scholars to be a metaphor for eloquence, possibly related to
bardic practices. Lucian records that the Gauls associated him with
Hercules, but his appearance on two
defixiones from Austria suggests that he was also associated with
Hermes in Eastern
Celtic tradition.
