In Greek mythology, Hyperboreans were a tribe who lived far to Greece's north. Contained in what has come down to us of Greek literary tradition are texts that identify the Hyperboreans with the Celts, or Hyperborean lands with Celtic ones. This groundbreaking book studies the texts that make or imply this identification, and provides reasons why some ancient Greek authors identified a mythical people with an actual one. Timothy P. Bridgman demonstrates not only that these authors mythologize history, but that they used the traditional Greek parallel mythical world to interpret history throughout ancient Greek culture, thought and literature.

Few published collections of Gaelic song place the songs or their singers and communities in context. Brìgh an Òrain - A Story in Every Song corrects this, showing how the inherited art of a fourth-generation Canadian Gael fits within biographical, social, and historical contexts. It is the first major study of its kind to be undertaken for a Scottish Gaelic singer. The forty-eight songs and nine folktales in the collection are transcribed from field recordings and presented as the singer performed them, with an English translation provided. All the songs are accompanied by musical transcriptions. The book also includes a brief autobiography in Lauchie MacLellan's entertaining narrative style. John Shaw has added extensive notes and references, as well as photos and maps. In an era of growing appreciation of Celtic cultures, Brìgh an Òrain - A Story in Every Song makes an important Gaelic tradition available to the general reader. The materials also serve as a unique, adaptable resource for those with more specialized research or teaching interests in ethnology/folklore, Canadian studies, Gaelic language, ethnomusicology, Celtic studies, anthropology, and social history.

Découvert à l’occasion de la construction de la ligne du TGV Nord, le site gaulois de Montmartin/La Fosse Muette s’est rapidement révélé exceptionnel. Outre un riche habitat aristocratique, au mobilier abondant témoignant de la diversité des activités artisanales (métallurgie, production céramique...), un espace public et cultuel a été mis au jour : un petit temple, similaire à celui du célèbre site de Gournay-sur-Aronde, et une place publique attenante, qui constituent une documentation de premier ordre sur les pratiques cultuelles (traitement des cadavres notamment) et sur la société guerrière gauloise, celle des équités de César. Les problématiques abordées dans la synthèse de l’ouvrage, occupation du Belgium, nature des fermes dites « indigènes », mentalités religieuses, nourries par une relecture attentive des auteurs anciens, ouvrent assurément la voie à une approche renouvelée des sites de même type. Many questions are broached in the synthesis of this work: the occupation of Belgium, the nature of the so-called “indigenous" settlements and the religious mentalities, fed by a careful reinterpretation of ancient authors. These questions should surely open the way to a renewed approach to these types of sites. Construction work on the TGV Nord railway discovered the exceptional gaulish site of Montmartin/La Fosse Muette. A rich aristocratic dwelling was uncovered and the abundance of small finds shows the diversity of the craft activities (metal working, pottery production...). In addition, a public and religious space was observed, composed of a small temple, similar to the famous site of Gournay-sur-Aronde, along with an attached public square or meeting place. This represents a first-rate document for the religious practices (notably for the treatment of corpses) and the gaulish warrior society, that of the equites described by Caesar.
