Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
Special Topic for Winter Semester 2016: Celtic Myth and ReligionA survey of the mythologies and religions of Celtic speaking peoples. We will consider the problem of identifying and reconstructing a unified Celtic mythology, religion, and cultural identity based on the independent evidence of the Continental Celts and the Celtic peoples of Ireland and Britain. Topics will include: sources of information about the Continental Celts and their culture, the evidence for pre-Christian myth and religion in the medieval literature of Ireland and Wales, the reconstruction of a possible Celtic pantheon, the role of folklore in understanding myth, and the development of modern Celtic religious movements.
Assessment and permitted materials
The method of evaluation will be a final exam.
