The Celtic Invasion of Greece & The Unknown Battle of Thermopylae
“200 years after the Persian Wars, Greece faced another massive assault. This time, the threat came not from the east but from a Celtic invasion.”

@homelessjun @histodon @histodons I think that the term ‘celt’ refers to more than one particular people, their settlements spread as far west as Ireland and as far east as Anatolia.
@bibliolater @histodon @histodons
it was surprising and a bit confusing to me to read about how widespread the celts were in the book because i had known only of the celts of ireland and scotland. there was passing mention of differences between the various celtic cultures and peoples. it would be helpful had writers and historians amplified the differences between them.
i will go back to review the books that i have...
@homelessjun It would be interesting to know the name of the book that you read.
@bibliolater the one that comes to mind right now is "the history of the irish race" or similar. all the books are in bins right now cos i have no shelf space.
@bibliolater
i find this interesting because an irish history book mentions that the original celts came from greece. i do not recall the book author or title at the moment.
