About this product

Product Information

There was no reason for the Greek world to be particularly concerned about the Celts in the years before and even decades after Alexander the Great. To any Greek, the Celts were just another race of distant barbarians. Traders might bring back stories of them, and occasionally a small group of Celtic warriors might appear among the mercenaries of a hired army, but they were no threat to civilized Greek folk going about their daily business. Sometime during his early years in Rhodes, a daring notion first entered the mind of Posidonius. He had been taught by his Stoic professors that the world and all its people were part of a divine order. What better way to understand this order than a great journey of exploration? He knew that tribes still relatively uncorrupted by civilizing influences would be an important part of such a study. To be sure, this grand excursion would be the perfect opportunity to explore other subjects- astronomy, geology, and oceanography just to name a few- as well, but it was unspoiled human culture he most wanted to examine...The best possibility lay in the last place any reasonable Greek philosopher would want to go. In the distant west, beyond even the rule of Rome, lay the unknown land of the Celts.

  • I’m really liking this book!

    I’m still in the process of reading this book. I’ve read up to chapter 13. It’s a great history piece for those interested in Celtic history. Some of it is writer’s interpretation; you can tell at times. I do think it does have enough history in it though to paint a decent picture of the Celtic life back then. I like the Greek, Roman and Egyptian references in this book as it really helps to make sense of the historical timeline. I think it’s well written and easy to read. I’ll most likely keep it for my book collection. Thank you!

  • Recommended!

    Nice, pleasant, and well-informed read! I found the print to be a good size, the flow of the language excellent, and the design pleasing to the eye. The book was properly listed as a non-fiction book...the author clearly did his homework before putting pen to paper! I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in learning more about the Celts. Enjoy the book!
