Re: mythography

Thanks again.. Yes, Cunliffe's book is pretty good if patchy. I am fascinated by the cultural and religious similarities you mention and know something of some of them. That does seem to be an area of study that could illuminate our understanding of Bronze and Iron Age peoples.

There are so many similarities with Germanic beliefs and customs also and these wretched labels just get in the way. It is an accident of Roman terminology (as Tacitus clearly tells us) that we have the Germans on one side of the Rhine and the Gauls on the other. Ever since, they have been treated as different races. If we could now start to look for similarities and differences in language, customs, artifacts and DNA without prejudice and without trying to make any particular case!!!
