Excerpt from Le Cycle Mythologique Irlandais Et la Mythologie Celtique
Notre manière d'envisager les doctrines mythologi ques est toute différente de celle qu'avaient adoptée les hommes politiques de Rome et les croyants qui ont dicté les inscriptions romaines de la Gaule. Nous ne sommes ni, comme les premiers, appelés à gouverner une popola tion que des habitudes séculaires attachaient au culte de ses dieux, ui, comme les seconds, des païens. Les dieux des Gaulois, comme ceux des Romains, sont, à nos yeux une création de l'esprit humain, inspirée à une population ignorante par le besoin d'expliquer le monde. Il est, par conséquent, très difficile de nous satisfaire.
