1637 Lugh ENT_CEL_LUGH reception_of Lugus ENT_CEL_LUGUS high Lugh (Irish) and Lugus (Gaulish) share the Proto-Celtic *Lugus deity name, the "many-skilled" epithet (samildánach = master of all arts), and the spear as primary weapon. The Irish tradition elaborates the mythology more fully; the Gaulish tradition preserves the name in place names (Lugdunum sites). Olmsted (1994) pp. 399-410; Green (1992) pp. 129-133.

1638 Lleu Llaw Gyffes ENT_WEL_LLEU_LLAW_GYFFES reception_of Lugus ENT_CEL_LUGUS medium Lleu Llaw Gyffes (Welsh) and Lugus share the Proto-Celtic *Lugus name and the "long arm / skilled hand" epithet; however the Welsh narrative diverges significantly from the Irish Lugh version, suggesting parallel but independent reception. The Lugus → Lleu chain is mediated through Common Brittonic, not directly from Gaulish; confidence medium. Olmsted (1994) pp. 399-410; Mac Cana (1970) pp. 53-57. Olmsted, Garrett.

1780 Maponos ENT_CEL_MAPONOS equated_with Apollo ENT_ROM_APOLLO high Olmsted (1994) pp. 341-344: Romano-Celtic inscriptions at Ribchester, Corbridge, and Hexham record dedications to "Apollo Maponos"; Maponos is consistently equated with Roman Apollo in the northern British and Gaulish inscription record. Olmsted, Garrett. The Gods of the Celts and the Indo-Europeans (Archaeolingua, 1994) SRC_OLMSTED_GODS_CELTS approved  
1781 Maponos ENT_CEL_MAPONOS patron_of Music ENT_MUSIC high Olmsted (1994) pp. 341-344: Maponos is a deity of youth, music, and hunting; cognate with Welsh Mabon ap Modron (imprisoned divine youth of Arthurian myth); the Apollo equation reflects the music/arts domain. Olmsted, Garrett. The Gods of the Celts and the Indo-Europeans (Archaeolingua, 1994) SRC_OLMSTED_GODS_CELTS approved  
1782 Matres / Matrones ENT_CEL_MATRES patron_of Fertility ENT_FERTILITY high Olmsted (1994) pp. 299-312: the Matres/Matrones are the most widely attested Celtic religious phenomenon (1,000+ inscriptions); depicted as a triad of women bearing infants, fruit, and loaves — a clear fertility and maternal protection collective. Olmsted, Garrett. The Gods of the Celts and the Indo-Europeans (Archaeolingua, 1994) SRC_OLMSTED_GODS_CELTS approved
