| Summary | "La mythologie du Rhin" by X.-B. Saintine is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. The work delves into the ancient beliefs, practices, and peoples along the Rhine River, particularly focusing on the Celts and their interactions with nature, religion, and mythology. It examines various topics such as early colonization, the worship of trees, and the role of druids in shaping Celtic mythology. The opening of this historical account introduces readers to the early inhabitants of the Rhine region, emphasizing the river's significance as a crucial artery for trade and communication. It discusses the emergence of different tribes and their belief systems, particularly the worship of natural elements, which laid the ground for the later druidic practices. The author reflects on the cultural and linguistic connections between the ancient Celts and other civilizations, setting the stage for an exploration of the complexities and contradictions in their spiritual beliefs. The initial chapters hint at both a reverence for nature and the more questionable aspects of their rituals, preparing the reader for a deeper investigation into this fascinating mythology.
