Section Information for Summer 2014
Discover the mysticism and magic of the Druids; explore the heroic military tactics of Celtic Warriors; learn the meanings behind the pantheon of Celtic gods and goddesses and how their influence spread to the arts, literature, and even codes of law of the Celts. This course surveys the history and legacy of the Celtic Empire, beginning with Greek historical accounts from the 6th Century BC through the rise of Christianity during the medieval period in Europe. We will begin by tracing the Celtic presence from its origins along the Rhine to its spread to the farthest reaches of Asia and Europe from Turkey to Ireland. Following the decline of the Celts, we will explore their rich artistic legacy: evident in illuminated manuscripts, detailed metalwork, and stone carvings throughout the British Isles, Ireland, and France.
