| ENT_WEL_RHIANNON | PER_CEL_IRON_AGE | low | The etymology *Rigantona ("Great Queen") and the Epona parallel suggest her divine prototype has roots in Iron Age Celtic religion; her horse-goddess attributes (the impossible white horse, the processional approach) parallel the Gaulish Epona cult documented in Iron Age and Roman-period inscriptions; confidence is low because no direct Iron Age textual evidence for a Welsh Rhiannon-figure exists | SRC_GREEN_CELTIC_GODS | reviewed |
