About this title: This comprehensive treatment of Celtic civilization peels back the layers of European history beyond the Greco-Roman influence to reveal the ancient Celtic people who were the real source of our Western social, political, and literary values. Drawing on myth as well as history, Markale's treatment is both original and convincing. Illustrations. (Inner Traditions International)

"Markale's thesis is that Western culture has deeper roots in Celtic mythology and history than in the ancient Greco-Roman world. The author compares and contrasts Celtic stories, poems, and songs containing similar central imagery, then attempts to make symbolic connections to primal experience. Markale also cites Sanskrit roots of English language words and relates these to migration patterns of the Celts from Europe to Asia and back again.
I enjoyed the chapters I read but haven't yet finished the book due to more pressing life priorities."
