Mythology of the British Isles. Celts, Goddesses and Heroes

Where does the mythology of the British Isles really begin? In this fascinating lecture Geoffrey discusses the importance of our Celtic heritage in shaping the mythology of the British Isles; one that pre dates Anglo Saxon culture. What can we learn from a Celtic age where little was ever written down and how accurate is the work of medieval scholars such as Geoffrey of Monmouth in portraying the mythology of these islands?
