Celtic legends
Irish mythological tales
Celtic legends are the traditional stories, myths, and heroic tales originating from the Celtic peoples of Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Brittany, and other regions where Celtic languages and cultures flourished.
These narratives feature gods, heroes, magical creatures, and otherworldly realms, with famous cycles including the Irish tales of Cú Chulainn and the Welsh Mabinogion.
The Arthurian romances draw heavily on Celtic legends.
