    A Little  Dated, But Interesting Introduction to the Ancient Celts.
  

*by M***W on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 4, 2021*

This is a work originally published in Germany in 1975, the British and American editions came out in 1976-77, this is a review of the first American edition.Gerhard Herm, the author, unlike previous authors compares the Ancient Celtic peoples to Greece & Rome as the Great Northern European Civilization comparable and equal in Cultural richness, Power and Diversity, something I don't think more recent scholars have done.Herm's over view of the Celts follows a historical narrative that has a tendency to loop back on itself, for example, Chapters 1&2 look at the Celts earliest encounters against Republican Rome, Chapters 3-4 look at the interactions of the Celts & Greeks from the time of Alexander the Great to the Ancient  Galatians  of Asia Minor and the  Historical Descriptions of the Celts by the Great Greek Historians. Chapters 5-6 look back to search for the earliest ancestors of the Celts  through finding the origins of the earliest Indo-European peoples. In Chapter 6 Herm takes the unusual stance of looking for Celtic ancestors through focusing on Jurgen Spanuth's Nordic theory of Atlantis and the  Great European Migration of the 13th century B.C.E.Herm then looks at the origins of recognizable Celtic Culture through the Hallstatt & La Tene Cultures and their developments and looks at their religion and mythology including the role of the Druids in Chapters 7-9.He then goes on to look at the later clashes between Rome and the Celts in Chapters 10-13, Caesar and the Gallic Wars, the Defeat of Vercingetorix, the Campaigns in Britain and ' The Barbarian Conspiracy', the piratical raids and later invasions that would see Britain removed from the Empire in A.D.410.Chapters 14-16 focus on Ireland and the Irish La Tene  cultural period from 300B.C.E. to A.D.450, the rise of the Celtic Church in Ireland & Scotland, the Christinization of Continental Europe by Irish & Scottish Missionaries and the final fall of the Celtic Church to Roman Catholicism in 663 at the Council of Whitby and  the rise of the Arthurian Cycles with their clearly Celtic British origins into the early14th century.There is some outdated material but overall an outstanding introduction to a highly interesting subject.
