Celts legends. Heroes and warriors. Mythical creatures and monsters. Kerrigan M.

For several centuries, the Celts have been the most powerful people of Central and Northern Europe. With the expansion of the Roman Empire and, in the future, the Christianization of these lands, the Celts were forced to move to the north-west of Spain, France and the British Isles. But they retained their ancient mythology and beliefs.

Subsequently, Celtic myths and legends were recorded and penetrated into other cultures. From Roman and Christian scribes, we know such figures as Morrigan, capable of changing his appearance - from cow to wolf, the hero of Kukhulin, who, having received a deadly wound, tied himself with his own intestines to die standing.
