Celtic Mythology

Summary
Most people have heard of the Celts - the elusive, ancient tribal people who resided in present-day England, Ireland, Scotland and France. Paradoxically characterized as both barbaric and innocent, the Celts appeal to the modern world as a symbol of a bygone era, a world destroyed by the ambition of empire and the spread of Christianity throughout Western Europe. Despite the pervasive cultural and literary influence of the Celts, shockingly little is known of their way of life and beliefs, because very few records of their stories exist. In this book, for the first time, Philip Freeman brings together the best stories of Celtic mythology.
Everyone today knows about the gods and heroes of the ancient Greeks, such as Zeus, Hera, and Hercules, but how many people have heard of the Gaulish god Lugus or the magical Welsh queen Rhiannon or the great Irish warrior Cú Chulainn? We still thrill to the story of the Trojan War, but the epic battles of the Irish Táin Bó Cuailgne are known only to a few. And yet those who have read the stories of Celtic myth and legend - among them writers like J. R. R. Tolkien and C. S. Lewis - have been deeply moved and influenced by these amazing tales, for there is nothing in the world quite like them. In these stories a mysterious and invisible realm of gods and spirits exists alongside and sometimes crosses over into our own human world; fierce women warriors battle with kings and heroes, and even the rules of time and space can be suspended. Captured in vivid prose these shadowy figures - gods, goddesses, and heroes - come to life for the modern listener.

yet another who can't pronounce Irish names
Im returning this. I'm only on chapter 3 but I can't stand it. The narrator seems to be Irish but is not pronouncing the names correctly. In the story of Midir and Éadaoin the Goddess' name is mispronounced over and over again. Éadaoin (Aideen) is my sister's name and is not uncommon as a contemporary name! Disappointing and annoying, defeating the purpose of the book which the author states is to bring the old stories of the Celts to a wider audience.

So far the best audio of Celtic Myth
Compared to other audiobooks I have listened to, this is the best. The narration is good, but the actual stories told are magnificent. It is important to know that it pays particular attention to Irish Mythology and touches more briefly on Welsh and Christian mythology.

Scholarly yet fancifully told
Be warned that this is a collection of ancient legends from imaginative yet martial tribal peoples. Three times 50 beautiful maidens and warriors who kill 100 men at a pass are a regular feature of such fare - but shape changing and passage to the world of the fakery folk feature as well. Gerard Doyle brings these ancient tales to life, such that you’d think a hedge school master or some bard from the past were the one telling it. Yet it’s all based on sound scholarship - giving as much verity to myth as may be possible. It’s a comprehensive work as well, starting with the earliest Roman references to the Celts and ending with Celtic influenced stories of Saints Patrick, Brigid and Brenden.

History is written by the winners
The winners in this case are male and Christen. It’s no shock the tales have many weak and faithless or evil women. I really wouldn’t have minded the tales but the monotone of the author often killed the excitement or wit of the stories.
