Keltoi: Etymology

Article source: HellenicGods

The word Kelt or Celt is derived from the Greek Kælti (Keltoi; Gr. Κελτοί, ΚΕΛΤΟΙ). It is found early in the sixth century BCE writings of Ækataios (Hecataeus; Gr. Ἑκαταῖος) of Mílitos (Miletus; Gr. Μίλητος) to describe peoples living in the area now known as southern France. [1] The etymology of the word is uncertain:

"Possible roots are kel 'exalt' or kel 'strike', as in Latin percello. Another suggestion is kwel 'turn', Latin incola 'settler'." [2]

It is also said that Kelt means "hidden people" on account of a Keltish religious proscription forbidding the writing down of Keltic mystical knowledge. The Kelts, although now associated primarily with the peoples of Scotland, Ireland, and Wales are known by scholars to have lived in many places through much of Europe.

According to the ancient Greek grammarian and poet Parthǽnios (Parthenius; Gr. Παρθένιος) of Níkaia (Nicaea; Gr. Νίκαια), the Kelts are descendants of the union of Iraklís (Heracles or Hercules; Gr. Ἡρακλῆς) and the nymph Kæltíni (Keltine; Gr. Κελτίνη). Kæltíni is the daughter of Vrættanós (Brattanos; Gr. Βρεττανός), an early king of Britain. She had concealed the herds of cattle that Iraklís had won in his campaign against Yiryóhn (Geryon; Gr. Γηρυών, pronounced yee-ree-OHN). She used these herds, as well as her beauty, to lure the Hero and marry him. The resulting union produced a son whom they named Kǽltos (Gr. Κέλτος; Latin: Celtus). Kǽltos is called the father of the Kelts.

Another version of the story, told by Diódohros Sikælióhtis (Diodoros Siculus; Gr. Διόδωρος Σικελιώτης), calls the offspring of this union Galátis (Galates; Gr. Γαλάτης), and credits Galátis with founding the country of the Gauls. Ancient Gaul was a Keltish land.

"Now Celtica (ed. part of Gaul) was ruled in ancient times, so we are told, by a renowned man who had a daughter who was of unusual stature and far excelled in beauty all the other maidens. But she, because of her strength of body and marvelous comeliness, was so haughty that she kept refusing every man who wooed her in marriage, since she believed that no one of her wooers was worthy of her. Now in the course of his campaign against the Geryones, Heracles visited Celtica and founded there the city of Alesia, and the maiden, on seeing Heracles, wondered at his prowess and his bodily superiority and accepted his embraces with all eagerness, her parents having given their consent. From this union she bore to Heracles a son named Galates, who far surpassed all the youths of the tribe in quality of spirit and strength of body. And when he had attained to man's estate and had succeeded to the throne of his fathers, he subdued a large part of the neighbouring territory and accomplished great feats in war. Becoming renowned for his bravery, he called his subjects Galatae or Gauls after himself, and these in turn gave their name to all of Galatia or Gaul." [4]

There are similarities between Keltic religion and Ællinismόs (Hellenismos; Gr. Ἑλληνισμός), the ancient Greek religion. To commence our examination, both traditions are polytheistic, as were almost all ancient religions. Beyond this, there are miscellaneous references.

Plinius (Pliny) the Elder states that mistletoe and oak were sacred to the Kelts. They preferred to do ritual in oak groves. This is significant because in Greek religion, the oak is sacred to the greatest of all the Gods, Zefs (Zeus; Gr. Ζεύς). Plinius goes further and presumes that the name Druid may have a Greek root: drys (Gr. δρῦς) meaning "trees bearing acorns, oak," dryínas (druinas; Gr. δρυΐν��ς) which refers to a "serpent which lives in the hollows of oaks," and Dryídis (Gr. Δρυΐδης) which is the ancient Greek word for 'Druid'. [5]

Máximos Týrios (Maximus of Tyre; Gr. Μάξιμος Τύριος), the 2nd Century CE philosopher, believed that the Kelts worshiped Zefs [6] to whom the oak was sacred. Consider Dohdóhna (Dodona; Gr. Δωδώνᾱ), the sacred oracular shrine of Zefs in northwest Greece, where oracles were construed from the rustling of the leaves of a sacred grove of oaks.

According to Julius Caesar, the Keltish priests believed in a form of reincarnation. [7] Likewise, Diódohros Sikælióhtis finds similarities in Keltish beliefs to Pythagorean ideas on palingænæsía (palingenesia; Gr. παλιγγενεσία), reincarnation.

"... for the belief of Pythagoras prevails among them, that the souls of men are immortal and that after a prescribed number of years they commence upon a new life, the soul entering into another body. Consequently, we are told, at the funerals of their dead some cast letters upon the pyre which they have written to their deceased kinsmen, as if the dead would be able to read these letters." [8]

There are instances of syncretism between the Gods of the Kelts and the Gods of Hellenic religion. For instance, Apóllohn (Apollo; Gr. Ἀπόλλων) was sometimes equated with various Keltic deities: Amarcolitanus, Anextlomarus, Atepomarus, Belenus, Borvo, Grannus, Maponus, Moritasgus, Toutiorix, and Vindonnus. In some instances, the Kelts used a native word as an epithet, as the Hellenes did; an example would be the Keltish God, Apóllohn Belenus (“the shining God” cf. Φοῖβος, the famous epithet of Apóllohn), [9] but this is just one of many examples.

Also of interest are the stories surrounding Párthalohn (also Parthalan; Gr. Πάρθαλων). [10] Called the first king of Ireland, Párthalohn was the son of Sera of Kalydóhn (Calydon; Gr. Καλυδών) in Greece who fled his country after, reputedly, killing his parents, arriving in Ireland seven years later. Párthalohn died some thirty years hence, along with his many followers, who all perished from plague. Only one person survived: Tuan mac Cairill, the son of Párthalohn's brother Starn. Tuan underwent a series of animal transformations and was eventually reborn as the son of Cairell in the sixth century CE, who then told the story of Párthalohn. There is considerable controversy concerning the story of Párthalohn, even the date of his reign ranges between 2680 BCE to 1150 BCE. By other accounts (possibly to discredit the 'pagan' origin of the king), Párthalohn was described as a descendant of the Biblical Noah.
