Marie-Louise Sjoestedt – Gods and Heroes of the Celts

By Bard Mythologies

This is the last work of a brilliant French scholar who particularly outlines academic background to the Gods and Goddesses and the Chieftain Gods.  Of particular importance is her distinction between the Heroes of the Tribe (CúChulain) and Heroes outside the Tribe (Finn and the Fianna).
