 Book Review
Miranda Green's Celtic Myths is an excellent introductory study of Celtic mythology for the period from 600BC to 400AD.
Green cites ancient texts such as The Book of Invasions and the Tain Bo Cuailnge as her primary sources of Celtic mythology in Ireland.
While she notes that these sources are to be approached with caution a Christian scholars compiled them during the medieval period, Green attempts to justify their use as the only resources available to the modern scholar, particularly for the study of Pagan Ireland.
