Wed, August 17, 2005 - 6:07 PMWhat about Galatia? It was a Celtic land. Does any one know if there were bards, vatis, or Druids there? -

Re: celtic lands
Wed, August 17, 2005 - 6:38 PMBards, Vates & Druids all existed and flourished in pre-roamn culture in Gaul. Back before the Gaels were driven from Gaul and ended up in Ireland, if memory serves. -

'Bard' by Morgan Llywelyn
The coming of the Irish to Ireland from the Iberian Peninsula, Gaelicia [NW Spain]. Featuring the Milesians, Amergin, Brehon Law and all kinds of fascinating stuff. I highly recomend it. -

Mon, August 22, 2005 - 11:36 AMOK, correct me if I am wrong here. Didn't the Celts settle pretty much all of Europe, but because they were more into the arts and developing intellectulally instead of militarially, they were overthrown by the different tribes that came later who cared more about military might? -

Thu, August 25, 2005 - 3:47 PMWell even the gauls of france were celts. The Keltoi as the Romans called them were pretty much everywhere.

Tue, August 30, 2005 - 4:04 PMNot exactly, Shamus. The Celts were quite militaristic...their main downfall was their tribal nature. They were too fragmented to withstand the unity of the Roman Legions, Anglo-Saxons, etc...who had a more central power structure. -
