Celtic Ancient Origins: Stories Of People & Civilization (Flame Tree Collector's Editions)
Format: Hardcover, Deluxe edition, foiled and embossed, with gilded edges Pages: 416 Date of Release: 18 June 2024
Uncover the true origins behind Celtic myth and legend in this striking Flame Tree Collector’s Edition. Celtic Ancient Origins explores the powerful history of the Celts—feared and admired in the age of Julius Caesar and Cleopatra—and reveals how their myths and migrations shaped some of the foundations of modern storytelling.
While Celtic culture is often associated with Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Brittany, and Galicia, this fascinating volume traces Celtic beginnings back to Central Europe, particularly Austria, and follows their far-reaching influence across ancient Greece, Egypt, and beyond. From the Hallstatt Era (c.1200 BCE) to the rise of the Gaels and eventual Christianisation, the book examines Celtic society, warfare, kingship, belief systems, and literary traditions.
Written by Martin Dougherty, with a foreword by Professor Ralph Haussler, this carefully curated collection blends classic historical sources with expert commentary. Featuring a new introduction and reference material, this elegant hardcover is ideal for readers interested in Celtic history, mythology, ancient civilizations, and the roots of European folklore.
