The Celts were pretty nasty. The Romans kicked their @sses for the next 700 years

This place used to be full of blood in the past because Celts used to bring not only material and animal but also human sacrifices to their gods

CS Lewis, as a former agnostic with a deep love of high pagan culture, wrote a unique book, a northern, perhaps Keltic version of the Cupid & Psyche myth, with a Keltic-Greek cultural connection, in which Psyche is forbidden to see the fabulous lover who comes to her in the dark, but her sisters say that he is a monster, convince her to smuggle in a lamp, she sees him for 1 instant as visually as beautiful as he was on a tactile basis, then he flees and Psyche wanders the world in desolation.

CS Lewis' treatment of this base story, Till We Have Faces, refers to the fact that the sister in the story is an ugly queen, who won her queenship by fighting as a man against a pretender man from a neighboring kingdom; she was trained in fighting by her Greek philosopher-slave, she kills the pretender in battle. She dons a mask, increasing her mysterious power, she outlives most of her subjects, eventually, no one alive has ever seen her face. Till We Have Faces. Google results:

They were a bunch of happy-go-lucky drunks who amused themselves by burning down neighbors’ cities. They took that habit a bit too far when they burned down Rome. It took a while, but eventually they found out firsthand what the Divine Julius could accomplish when he put his mind to it. :^)
