The Greeks and the Romans were not only the people who enjoyed a widely famous set of myths. Their neighboring countries have also developed their own local versions of heroic epic, sagas, and tales. The Celts are people from the Indo-European region of Europe and Asia Minor who use the Celtic languages of the Gauls, Gallaecians, Galatians, Britons, Gaels, among others. During the Iron Age, the Celts’ main religions were centered around polytheism–they believed in many gods and deities. There are still some debates about their origins, such as them being the descendants of Heracles, the Greek demi-god son of Zeus. These people enjoyed their simple lives within their tribes, marveling in the lore of their gods and goddesses and letting them guide their lifestyles. But that period came to a halt with the rise of the Roman Empire and their main religion, Christianity. By the time the Romans reached Celtic lands, they were forced to denounce their beliefs and bend their knees for Christ. Much of that period in history may have been lost due to religious cleansing, but few sources survived. With them, the world has now known the rich and colorful tales of Celtic mythology.
