Mythology

Some time ago I was reading articles about the celtic mythology. I must admit - it's very interesting, especially Tuatha Dé Danann and The Four Magical Treasures they gave people of Ireland: the Stone of Fal, the Spear of Destiny, the Sword of Nuada and the Dagda's Cauldron. All of these treasures were precious for the ancient Irish and had great power:
- the Stone of Fal used to say the name of the rightful king of Ireland and give him happiness and longevity
- the Spear of Destiny was - in my opinion, of course - the strongest of all - the man, who possessed the Spear hadn't lost any battle
- the Sword of Nuada, the Fragarach was undefeatable - no armor was able to resist its blade
- and the Dagda's Cauldron - the favourite artifact of some people I asked - it was a bottomless cauldron filled with food that could feed the whole army and heal people
As you can see, there is more than just greek, roman or egyptian mythology. And it's equally good, I think.
