\'The myth of Celtic and Roman Britain\'
#24
Quote:Virgil wanted his daddy to be Trojan (the people, not the other thing).

I knew an Irish guy in Sicily who swore the Irish were not celtic - Fomorians, apparently, as he explained over his eighteenth beer. Then again, these Fomorians were also supposed to be Trojans... or was that the other way around? :|

Quote:These stories remind me of the ridiculous SS research into the origins of the master race which even led them to the Tibetan highlands...

There is something pretty unsavoury about it all - claims about blood and belonging are seldom motivated by strictly historical concerns.
