''The Celts: Rich Traditions and Ancient Myths'' is a 1987 documentary series that examines the origins, growth, and influence of Celtic culture in Great Britain and throughout Europe. The series was directed by David Richardson, written and presented by Frank Delaney, produced by the British Broadcasting Corporation, and broadcast on BBC Two. The series was released on DVD in Europe and North America in 2004. Delaney also wrote a six-chapter companion book, extended with four tales from Irish mythology. ==Episodes== # "The Man with the Golden Shoes" covers the archeological and historical evidences for the Celts and the extent of their civilization across the European continent, including the two core periods of Celtic Culture (i.e. Hallstatt culture and La Tène culture). # "The Birth of Nations" shows the formation of the modern Celtic nations from the ashes of the Roman conquest and fall. # "A Pagan Trinity" discusses Celtic mythology, legend, and belief, and then the introduction of Christian faith to the Irish and Scots. # "The Open-Ended Curve" presents the distinctive physical art of the Celts, both ancient and modern. # "The Final Conflict" returns to history, presenting the conquest of the modern Celtic nations by neighboring England and France, with a detailed review of the attempted destruction of the Welsh language, the Irish resistance and revolution, and the immigration of the Irish and others to North America. # "The Legacy" is a discussion on the degree to which modern people may view themselves as Celts, with examples of modern Celtic-inspired practices like military discipline and warfare, the Welsh Eisteddfod, modern Irish music and art, and the efforts of the Bretons and Cape Bretoners to preserve their native languages in the face of societal assimilation by their ruling nations. Some of this episode was filmed in Portmeirion, Wales and makes references to the 1960s series ''The Prisoner''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Celts (BBC documentary)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
