  Celtic mythology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Celtic mythology is the mythology of Celtic polytheism, apparently the religion of the Iron Age Celts.
In contrast, those Celtic peoples who maintained either their political or linguistic identities (such as the Gaels and Brythonic tribes of the British Isles) did transmit at least vestigial remnants of the mythologies of their Iron Age forebears, which were often recorded in written form during the Middle Ages.
The widespread diffusion of the god Lug (seemingly related to the mythological figure Lúgh in Irish) in Celtic religion is apparent from the number of place names in which his name appears, occurring across the Celtic world from Ireland to Gaul.
